Schulmuseum Bern

A «Historische Lernwelt», a «SchulSchaulager» and a «Forschungswerkstatt» – these are the three pillars of the Schulmuseum Bern in Köniz. 

It is the largest Swiss institution dedicated to the history of education from the 17th century onward. Its collection encompasses approximately 80’000 objects, which are being preserved and made accessible to the public in the newly created SchulSchaulager. By way of collection, research, presentation and communication, the Schulmuseum Bern aims to foster a universal understanding of the cultural heritage of school. 

With the creation of the SchulSchaulager, an open storage facility and showroom, 80’000 objects from five centuries of school culture have been made accessible to the public. It provides an ideal platform for interactive exhibitions and participative communication, alongside a treasure trove for researchers.
