    Ballenberg, "Swiss Open Air Museum", Brienz
    In 1978 the time had finally come: the Ballenberg open-air museum opened its doors. After 16 museum objects were presented at the opening, two years later there were already 25 and in 1985 even 61 buildings. Today there are over 100 residential and auxiliary buildings on the Ballenberg.
