You're standing at the Zentrum Paul Klee, on the eastern edge of Bern. Start by looking at the shape of the building. This isn't your usual museum box. It's three waves that seem to roll into the landscape like hills. The Italian architect Renzo Piano designed it. He got the job in 1998, and it opened in 2005.
