The Lumeum is located in the former swimming pool of the historic guesthouse Kloster Bethanien in St. Niklausen, in the canton of Obwalden, above Kerns at an altitude of 800 metres above sea level.
Nestled in a peaceful setting with views of the surrounding mountains and Lake Sarnen — a place that radiates both inspiration and tranquillity.
Before the show begins, our gallery invites you to learn more about the lives of Niklaus von Flüe and Dorothee Wyss.
Immerse yourself in personal milestones, historical references and global messages of peace.
Lumeum exhibition Late medieval Unterwalden comes alive and tangible here.
Enter an extraordinary gallery that brings the lives of Niklaus and Dorothee to life in a unique way. Using an innovative wall design technique, selected stages of their lives are transferred directly onto the walls of the room – a quiet but moving narrative that merges with the architecture to create a total work of art.
The display is complemented by a carefully curated collection of inspiring personalities from around the world. From 20th-century peacemakers to contemporary voices for justice and peace, a fascinating dialogue emerges.
Flexible visit: You can explore the gallery at your own pace before or after the 360° film experience in the Lumeum.
Time to pause: Take the time to discover, read and absorb the moving stories.
Ideal preparation: The exhibition creates the perfect emotional setting for the subsequent immersive experience in the Lumeum.
The exhibition is only accessible as part of a booked visit.
