Wikipedia description:

The Federal Office of Culture (FOC) is an administrative unit of the Federal Department of Home Affairs, based in Bern, Switzerland. The agency has two extensive areas of responsibility: promoting Swiss culture and preserving the country’s cultural heritage. In 2014, its total budget was close to 170 million francs. The FOC promotes culture in the fields of literature, theatre, dance, music, film, the visual arts and design. It helps preserve the cultural heritage by supporting the protection of monuments and archeological research, and it also maintains valuable collections, libraries, archives, and museums. From 2005 to 2013, Jean-Frédéric Jauslin was director of the Federal Office of Culture. He was succeeded by Isabelle Chassot, who directed the office from 2013 to 2021. In 2022, Carine Bachmann became the director of the Office.
