About

The Klingendes Museum Bern invites visitors to explore the fascinating world of historical wind instruments and percussion. Located near the Zytglogge in Bern’s old town, the museum houses over 1,600 instruments spanning 300 years, many of which can be heard via video guides or even played by visitors. Its core collection, based on Karl Burri’s internationally renowned holdings, showcases rare pieces like the serpent, alphorn, and Roman cornu. The exhibition “C’est le vent qui fait la musique” reveals how air creates sound, blending hands-on experiences with digital interpretation. Through interactive displays and themed exhibitions like “Amor & Echo,” the museum offers a vibrant, multisensory journey into musical history.
