Swiss Museum of Wildlife and Hunting

The season begins on May 8th, with a range of events for young and old, for hunters and non-hunters. The accompanying events to this year's special exhibition will provide in-depth insights into Bern in the late Middle Ages, as well as into the life of a Landshut castle lord at that time.
On the monthly evening guided tours, experts impart interesting information about our wild animals and hunting as well as other exciting topics.

"Beautiful Ladies, Noble Gentlemen - Thüring von Ringoltingen, Melusina and Co".
The Bernese councillor, mayor and Landshut castle lord Thüring von Ringoltingen (1415-1483) created a medieval bestseller with his congenial translation into German of the French verse novel "Mélusine ou la noble histoire des Lusignan". His text has been reprinted again and again over the centuries, often with magnificent illustrations.

Explore the fascinating life of our huntable and protected native wild animals as well as the world of hunting in all its interesting and surprising facets on a tour through the castle and the grain houses.
The permanent exhibitions can be visited at any time during the season opening times.

Every last Thursday from May to September, an evening tour offers exciting insights into topics related to our wildlife, hunting, nature or the history of the castle.
During this year's season, the series of evening tours is all about hunting and the wild animals in our nature. Organised by the Swiss Museum of Wildlife and Hunting, the evening tours will offer hunters and non-hunters alike exciting insights into the production of taxidermy and trophies, the world of birds of prey and falconry, or the new species of wild animals arriving here.
