Discovering moving History: The Cyclone of 1926
The exhibition presents the disaster of the cyclone, which a hundred years ago, on June 12, 1926, touched the area between La Chaux-de-Fonds and La Chaux-des-Breuleux. On the basis of various newspaper articles and a series of postcards, the extent of this disaster can be appreciated.
Anabaptist in the Jura
Also, on display are parts of the 2025 exhibition on the Anabaptists in the Jura, which illustrates the arrival in the heights of the Jura: their settlement in remote farms throughout the area, the development of a community life as well as agricultural and craft skills.
Anabaptist Arts
As a special highlight we present works of art by Jean-Pierre Gerber, who celebrated his 80th birthday earlier this year and specializes in the processing of wood from Jura fir. The works of art are on display indoors and outdoors.
Also featured are engravings by Simon Gerber, a musician who spent his childhood in the Jura.
