5 – 6 April

Meet gentle cows and curious hens while activity leaders guide playful workshops.

12 March – 1 May

May 1972 is an exhibition dedicated to Salvatore Emblema (Naples, 1929–2006), bringing together works produced between the late 1960s and the early 1980s. Across paintings, sculptures and installations, Emblema refines a conceptual language that interrogates materiality, form and temporality. The presentation highlights his experimental use of found materials, assemblage and reductive gestures, situating these works within postwar Italian avant‑garde practices and the artist’s evolving exploration of spatial and epistemic limits.

12 March – 7 May

Ernest Pignon-Ernest, born in 1942 in Nice, is considered one of the pioneers of street art. Through life-sized charcoal drawings pasted directly onto city walls, he creates powerful encounters between his human figures and the urban spaces they inhabit. Deeply engaged with social and political issues, his work reflects historical and contemporary struggles while maintaining a strong poetic and human presence.

Opening during the Nuit de Bains on Thursday 12 March at 18:00.

Join a convivial gathering of Swiss winemakers for tastings, bottle sales and the discovery of recent primeur cuvées. The event brings together producers from several cantons for shared tasting sessions, free introductory tasting workshops, live concerts and communal food stalls serving fondue, boards, burgers and tapas. It’s aimed at adults (18+) while organisers also announce children’s activities on site. The atmosphere emphasises community, conversation and convivial discovery.

9 – 12 April

Produced by the Madre de la Culebra company, this music, circus and dance performance imagines a world emptied of sound after music has been stolen. Two courageous performers, dancers and acrobats, embark on a quest to reclaim melody, encountering unexpected figures along the way. They fuse contemporary dance, acrobatics, floorwork and folk steps around the Chinese pole, creating gravity-defying tableaux. On-stage musicians supply original compositions, while the staging probes identity, power and the fragile interplay of sound and movement.

7 – 17 April

Make a pocket almanac full of stories, drawings, crosswords, recipes and collectible postcards. In a series of workshops, participants experiment with printmaking techniques, play creative writing games and learn simple bookmaking methods to shape their own small journal. Sessions encourage playful collaboration, colourful illustrations and hands‑on discovery as children turn ideas into a printed object to share with family.

Kids ages 6–12.

7 – 19 April

Eric Eriston Winarto presents a body of small oil paintings that treat the Swiss landscape as memory and pictorial research. Executed largely in A4 format, these fragmentary paintings—hills veiled in smoke, metallic roads, nocturnal scenes with phantom headlights, bluish forests—oscillate between observation and abstraction. Drawing on the legacy of Turner and Hodler, Winarto probes perception, tension and balance, using controlled yet enigmatic brushwork to suggest storms, glaciers and mist. The project questions how intimate, poetic images emerge from fleeting atmospheric states.

23 January – 19 April

Ghislaine Heger presents a photographic series of portraits that foreground 101 women from French-speaking Switzerland and their experiences of ageing and gray hair. Combining portrait photography with each subject’s own testimony, the work examines social expectations, gendered scrutiny and the intimate moments that surround a visible change.
The exhibition evokes questions of identity, dignity and resilience, offering nuanced, gentle accounts that reveal how personal histories intersect with broader cultural attitudes toward ageing.

29 October 2025 – 31 May 2026

Pleasing the Spirits invites you on a journey through the Barbier-Mueller Collection, showcasing artworks from around the globe.

Celebrating Geneva’s vibrant heartbeat and the stories shaping culture today

Chef Florian Le Bouhec shares his favorite Geneva spots — from his go-to café for inspiration to the cultural discoveries that spark his creativity.
Geneva gave the world the Red Cross, the United Nations, and — as it turns out — the modern comic strip. It's a part of the city's identity that often gets overlooked, but from a 19th-century teacher sketching picture stories by the lake to a new comics museum opening in the works, Geneva's relationship with the ninth art is deeper and more alive than most people realize.
