Art Experience in Bern Region

Beyond belief – this 400 kg creature consisting of a pair of four-toed feet connected to each other by a loop has been part of the Casinoplatz since the station was renovated.

The dominant elements of this iron sculpture by Bernhard Luginbühl are its blade-like shape and shield-like plate supported by three pillars. The artist’s work was inspired by Thun Castle and its collection of weapons.

Whoever wishes to view the Oppenheim Tower Fountain in all its glory should return to the Waisenhausplatz in Bern more than once. The fountain, resembling an overgrown tower, is in fact the almost magical artwork of surrealist Meret Oppenheim - that in keeping with the seasons, switches from a green-clad moss dress in summer to a blanket of ice in winter.
