At the Grindelwald Local History Museum (Heimatmuseum Grindelwald), you can learn how the community at the foot of the Eiger evolved from a mountain farming village into a tourist resort. In addition to historical facts, the museum covers topics such as the myth of the Eiger and mountaineering in general, agriculture and Alpine farming, winter sports, railways, technology, crafts and Alpine painting. The museum is right next to the village church and makes a great subject for photos.
