The portrayal of the Last Judgment in the doorway of Bern Cathedral represents the magnificent finale of a 500-year roman-gothic tradition.

Along with the depiction of the wise and foolish virgins, the apostles and the heavens, it forms a complete work. One of the most beautiful artworks of the late gothic period! The work was completely restored between 1964 and 1991. After viewing the "Last Judgement", the guide will accompany you into the Historical Museum, where the originals are housed. The display of the 47 statues in the museum corresponds to the intellectual development of the work portrayed in the doorway. The intention of the museum display is to make this mediaeval drama in stone comprehensible and accessible.
