Kunstmuseum Bern opened in 1879, which makes it one of the oldest art museums in Switzerland. Its collection runs from the Gothic to the present, with works by Paul Klee, Ferdinand Hodler, Picasso and Meret Oppenheim, plus more than 40,000 drawings, prints, photographs and films.

In 2014 the museum took on a far harder job. German collector Cornelius Gurlitt named it his sole heir. His homes had held more than 1,400 artworks, many suspected of having been taken from Jewish owners by the Nazis. Accepting the bequest meant provenance research and returning works to the heirs of their original owners.

VoiceMap's self-guided audio tour passes the museum on a walk about Bern's waterways. It traces how water runs through the city's art, from painters of rivers and lakesides to the fountain named for Meret Oppenheim, whose work hangs inside.
