When Albert Einstein lived in the house now known as the Einstein House, he was officially working in Bern as a patent clerk. However, in his free time at the house, he worked on his pioneering theory of general relativity and penned, arguably, the world’s most famous equation, E=mc2.

It’s not an interactive museum. You can see a replica of the apartment where Einstein lived with his wife and baby and head up to a floor that was added to create the museum. You can watch a film there and see letters and photos that chronicle Einstein’s life.

In the Rosengarten park, you can pose for a photo on the Einstein Bench, next to a statue of the scientist himself. To learn about the person behind the famous brain and the places he frequented, take a private tour for insight into Einstein’s favorite places in the city.

The Einstein House is a second-floor apartment reached via a narrow staircase, so it isn’t accessible to strollers. Once inside, older kids who have learned about Einstein in school might enjoy watching the 20-minute film about the scientist’s life, although there’s not much else to engage kids.
