Above a Berne cafe,house where Einstein lived

The theory was the Special Theory of Relativity to most of us that means a neat equation,E=mC2 and the clerk Albert Einstein,who lived in this flat with his wife Mileva and son Hans between 1903 to 1905. It was also in this town that Einstein began work on the General Theory of Relativity before he left to teach at Zurich University.

Today,the flat is a museum,called the Einstein House. A note says it has been restored in the style of that period to reflect Einsteins crucial years in Berne.

The Einstein House has been renovated gently for the first time after 26 years, the note says. With the support of sponsors and partners it has been possible to rearrange the exhibition8230; It aims at giving information and addressing the visitors emotionally: How did Einstein live and in which environment were his most important papers created?

The spiral staircase to the second floor has been left in the original state,an official said. Einsteins study table and chair remain exactly where they used to be. Several photos of the physicist,his wife and son,and a big painting of the Milky Way adorn the walls. Einsteins famous black coats and trousers hang in a closet and Hans cradle lies in a corner.

Though Berne tour brochures and maps mention Einstein House,not many tourists seem to care for a visit. In fact,officials said,quite a few tourists who come for a coffee at Einstein Kaffee and Rauchsalon do not even known that they are sitting under the place that was once home to one of the greatest minds to walk the earth.
