The Museum of the Swiss Charters of Confederation (Bundesbriefmuseum) is home to the founding document of the Swiss Confederation, the Federal Charter of 1291.
The building was designed by Swiss architect Josef Beeler and inaugurated in 1936. It contains several artworks, such as the "Fundamentum" by Heinrich Danioth on the main façade, "Der Bundesschwur auf dem Rütli" (The Federal Oath on the Rütli) by Walter Clénin in the upper exhibition room and "Bruder Klaus" (Brother Klaus) by Maurice Barraud in the lower exhibition room.
