The Celts wore clothing that required a lot of fibulae (like large safety pins) in order to hold the cloth together. The main picture shows the exhibit which illustrates how this was done. These bronze metallic fibulae make up many of the artifacts which are found at Celtic archeological sites.
Photography is permitted in this museum.
The exhibition is called "Stone Age, Celts and Romans". Bern's Historical Museum and the Archaeological Service of the Canton of Bern bring together their most valuable treasures.
