Description
Join us for a guided tour through two institutions of the Museumsquartier Bern, showcasing historical parades, flags, horses, and political dignitaries in period costumes. The event highlights how grand processions from the late 19th century, such as commemorations of the Battle of Murten and Bern's anniversary, were celebrated and politicized through elaborate displays. Participants will learn about the stories behind these events at the Bern Historical Museum and handle authentic documents at the City Archive, gaining insight into the history and its portrayal.
