After a visit to the HR Giger Museum, a visit to the HR Giger bar across the street should of course not be missed. Even those who have not been to the museum before should at least stop by for a look or, better still, for an aperitif.
If you don't know HR Giger yet, you should be surprised.

If you have seen the Alien film series and have no problem with the very dark creatures created by HR Giger, a visit is highly recommended. Entry is free with the Raiffeisen Bank MemberPlus card.
Warning! The museum is not recommended for small children, as the pictures and sculptures appear very threatening and dark. The artist also exhibits sketches and the like, some of which depict brutal sex scenes that can be very disturbing for children. Otherwise... an absolute must!
