Lonely Planet review

The world's most famous scientist developed his theory of relativity in Bern in 1905, and the small Einstein Haus has been given a facelift recently to celebrate the centenary of that discovery. The humble apartment where Einstein lived with his young family while working as a low-paid clerk in the Bern patent office has been redecorated in the style of the time.

Numerous multimedia displays now flesh out the story of the subsequent general equation - E=MC2, or energy equals mass multiplied by the speed of light squared - which fundamentally changed humankind's understanding of space, time and the universe.
