The Natural History Museum of Bern is opening the doors to its new major permanent exhibition: ‘Earth, folks! – The changing climate’. Covering 630 square meters, the exhibition invites visitors on an exciting journey through Earth’s history with a focus on the greatest challenge of our time: anthropogenic climate change.

From the coal forests to the climate crisis, from the extinction of the dinosaurs to visions of the future, the exhibition uses impressive displays and fossils from the geological collection to demonstrate how closely human destiny is linked to the history of our planet. And it gives us hope: change is possible!

On Sunday, October 26, 2025, we are inviting the public to a big celebration for young and old alike. You can look forward to a varied program featuring shows, guided tours, hands-on activities and memories that literally get under your skin! The exhibition will open from October 24, 2025.

Further information on the exhibition, the program of events and the media tour will follow. We look forward to your coverage!
