The Psychiatry Museum Bern is located in the late baroque "Pfründerhaus" on the Waldau site. The idea of the museum dates back to 1914, when the Bernese psychiatrist and Adolf Wölfli discoverer Walter Morgenthaler compiled documentation on the history, development and status of psychiatry at the time.

A tour of the Psychiatry Museum takes you from the Middle Ages to the construction of the "Tollhaus" in 1749, from the founding of the "Waldau Lunatic Asylum, Sanatorium and Nursing Home" to today's University Hospital. The themes of the exciting temporary exhibitions are clinic-related and all exhibits come from the museum's own collection.
