  7. Zentrum Paul Klee

    Renzo Piano's remarkable building, the Zentrum Paul Klee is Bern's Guggenheim. Curving up and down like ocean waves, it forms three 'hills' on the outskirts of town. The structure's middle hill houses the main exhibition space, showcasing 4000 rotating works from Paul Klee's prodigious and often-playful career. Interactive computer displays built into the seating mean you can get the low-down on all the Swiss-born artist's major pieces.
