Information Swiss museumcollections display!

As I'm visiting Switzerland next week, I would like to know if somebody knows if there's a museum which displays Borneo ethnographics for the public (with the emphasis on Borneo swords ofcourse).

I know in Basel there is this museum, Museum der Kulturen Basel, which has a Borneo collection, but I don't know if they have the exposition for the public, or hidden in the storages....

Or maybe anybody has other suggestions of museums to visit?

Thank you in advance,
Kind Regards,
Maurice

Bernirische Historisches Museum may have some - but if they do, they will be well hidden. So a contact beforehand should be made. Landes Museum in Zurich may have some, but you will have to ask.
Geneva is also likely to have such a collection, but I don't know anything about it - sorry.
