Permanent exhibition

Today, the regional museum offers young and old a lively insight into the cultural heritage of the Emmental, from the Alpine cheese dairy to the “SCL Tigers” ice hockey club.

Immerse yourself in the special atmosphere of the oldest largely original wooden building in the region. Experience the past and present of the Emmental: everyday life, trade and crafts. Meet important personalities from the region and join in the discussion. One of the largest and most important collections of Langnau ceramics as well as cooperage and Flüehliglas complete the offer.

The museum comprises a permanent exhibition with 25 exhibition rooms in German, French and English, a temporary exhibition on current topics, a museum store and a self-service café. The small courtyard with its cottage garden, the large arbor and the museum foyer invite you to linger and offer space for aperitifs or concerts. There are also special offers for children and young people.

Renovation of permanent exhibition & relocation of entrance area

From summer 2024 to summer 2025, we want to redimension part of the permanent exhibition and extend it with two interior rooms as well as move the entrance area from the museum side to the front of the museum. On this page, we will inform you about the most important milestones in the renovation project.

  • August 26, 2024: The Langnau i.E. municipal council approves the special loan for the project.
  • In August 2024: Start of the research work
  • In December 2024: Call for co-design
