Intro
The Fram Museum, established in 2010 by the Einsiedeln Cultural Heritage Foundation, collects and archives cultural artefacts from Einsiedeln and makes them accessible to the public.
The most important basis of the collection is the archive of Benziger Verlag, which published religious and theological literature as well as fiction, children's and youth books until it was sold in 1994. The archive comprises around 25,000 books, mainly on religious topics, several thousand graphic works and administrative files from around one hundred years of publishing production. Another collection is dedicated to the local poet Meinrad Lienert. In addition to his printed works, it contains manuscripts, photographs, other documents and secondary literature. Finally, the Einsiedlensia collection of Karl and Maria Hensler documents cultural objects from Einsiedeln with a focus on everyday life, culture and pilgrimage.
The building in which the museum is located was built in 1897 and was named after Fridtjov Nansen's polar ship. "Fram" means "forward" in Norwegian.
The museum is currently planning a permanent exhibition about Einsiedeln entitled "A village of the world". It will be open from April 18, 2026.
