Museum of Communication looks back on a satisfactory year
The Museum of Communication in Bern wrapped up its second year of the pandemic on a fairly positive note. Although the museum was closed for two months in 2021 due to the pandemic, it still welcomed over 80,000 visitors.
The Museum of Communication has published its 2021 annual report in the form of a Hidden object which allows visitors to explore the year's themes in a playful way. With more than 80,000 visitors - despite two months with closed doors - the Museum of Communication looks back on a successful year, it says in a statement on Wednesday.
The financial damage caused by the pandemic is also limited, according to the press release. Thanks to cost-cutting measures and the Covid compensation from the public sector, the deficit amounts to slightly less than 25,000 Swiss francs. This is "within manageable limits," according to the museum management.
In order to reduce costs, the museum has extended its exhibition "SUPER - the second creation" on the topics of biotechnology and digitalization. It can be seen until July 10. From November, a new exhibition will focus on the challenges of the ecological crisis. (SDA/swi)
