Museums in Neuchâtel

A permanent exhibition of mammals and birds found in Switzerland, in their natural environment (diorama accompanied by sounds for the bird displays).

The sprawling museum of art and history is located just a stone's throw away from the lake. Here much can be learnt in the way of new and exciting aspects concerning the history of Neuchâtel courtesy of changing exhibitions. But the famous collections are also worth a visit - inside a magnificent building erected around 1880.

The Dürrenmatt Centre created by Mario Botta offers an exhibition environment which borrows both from literature and from the fine arts.
