Intro
Christmas crib & mineral collection
The nativity scene in the DIORAMA shows the Christmas story.
There are no multimedia, touchscreens or interactivity here. You are immersed in a world 2000 years ago. The scenery shows 450 figures on an area of 80 square meters and in front of 30 meters of painted background. The combination of sculptural representation and painted background creates an illusion of vastness. The display transports you to the heart of ancient Judea; to the lifelike replica of the Bethlehem region.
The entire opulence of the Orient can be seen in the crib ensemble and especially in the entourage of the Three Kings: "Silk flags rustling in the wind, a magnificent umbrella, an elephant with a throne seat and women under a sun tent on a dromedary".
The mineral collection of Dr. Adelrich Eberle from Einsiedeln is on display in the same building: 1,200 magnificent exhibits from all over the world. A special feature is the fluorescence cabinet: in ultraviolet light, some minerals that appear rather inconspicuous in daylight reveal a fantastic, unexpected blaze of color.
We are always open for groups, schools and individual guided tours on request.
