Guided tours
Did you know that the Library Am Guisanplatz BiG is a listed building and a former munitions depot? And do you know how the Federal Administration is supplied with up-to-date specialist information? You can learn about these and other interesting facts on a free guided tour of the library.

The BiG, which was established in 2007 following a decision by the Federal Council, is a place of learning and knowledge, housed in a modern yet listed building that is of architectural interest.
Why not take a tour of the BiG to discover its eventful history and learn how a modern information and media centre works.
On a free half-hour/hour guided tour you will learn more about
- the history of the BiG and its current tasks,
- the listed building,
- our valuable special collections.
Please note that the guided tours take place during the opening hours of the BiG. Groups of 15 or more can book several tours in parallel.
