30 Years of «Buch am Mittag» – 30 Years of Lunchtime Culture in Bern
Since 1996, the University Library of Bern has been hosting a series of lectures entitled «Buch am Mittag» every second Tuesday of the month. What began as a small lunchtime event has developed over three decades into a permanent fixture in Bern's cultural and academic life. The small display case exhibition «30 Years of ‹Buch am Mittag› – 30 Years of Lunchtime Culture in Bern» (5 February to 30 April 2026) looks back on these 30 years, highlighting how the format has changed – and what has remained the same to this day: the joy of learning at lunchtime.
