Einstein House – Einstein Haus Private Museum Bern
Albert Einstein’s house: Yes, that was the main attraction for us in Berns. My fourteen year old and ten year old were all excited to see for real where this great scientist once lived. Einstein’s house is located very close to Zytglogge, Bern’s clock tower.
Einstein House Bern
Einsteinhaus – Historic Site
Einstein and his wife Mileva lived here in Kramgasse 49 on the second floor from 1903 to 1905. He lived with his family in several houses in Bern, but this is the house where he worked on his theory of relativity.
This is the same environment and surroundings where Einstein conceived his great ideas and created his most important papers. So if you are a huge fan of Einstein then this place is a must visit.
View from window of Einstein House
Most of the furniture have been preserved and displayed in their original conditions. Photographs, with notes about them are displayed along the walls. This is the view from the window. Einstein must have stared out of this window thinking about the complex theories.
2 floors have great information videos photos and artifacts. Lot of family details, his upbringings, his story and his life after leaving Europe to his last years in USA are displayed. It can easily take an hour to go through the displays, if not more. The third floor shows a film that gives an overview of Albert Einstein’s life.
Objects used by Einstein
Little Einstein
Some of his daily use things too are showcased. His house in Princeton, NJ where he spent the years from 1935 till his death is not open to public as per his wishes. So that makes his Bern residence worth a visit.
This house is a private museum. There is yet another Einstein Museum in Bern Historical Museum with separate ticket charges.

I wonder if the roofs outside the window where Einstein lived were there in his day. If he did look out, he would have turned his gaze above them to reflect not only on scientific theories but also on philosophical matters. Reading his quotes, I marvel at how relevant his thoughts are today.
Neat. We didn't know any of this.
Darryl and Ruth 🙂

Great tour!! Boom & Gary of the Vermilon River, Canada.
Thank you for the photos of this house. Einstein is a genius beyond human comprehension. I wonder what kind of man he was.
What fun for you and your children to get to visit there.
I think it is wonderful that you and your family were able to visit Einstein's house. It must have been special to be in the place where he developed his theories.
What a lovely house he had, you photographed it so well.
