Patrons Associations | Verein zur Förderung des Ballenberg (VFB)
The original aim of the Association for the Advancement of Ballenberg, founded in Brienz in 1974, was to gain acceptance for the idea of an open-air museum in Switzerland and to actively support Ballenberg before, during and after its opening.

Since its foundation, the Association has donated over 4 million Swiss francs to the Open-Air Museum. The money has been used for many different purposes and projects which otherwise would not have been realised. Here are just a couple of recent examples: the expansion of the Ticino region in 2003 with a donation towards the acquisition of the house from Cugnasco; contributions towards furnishings, infrastructure, old handcrafts, silk worm culture, as well as research and documentation.
