And yet it all began so well. Living in Switzerland in the 1930s

From the modernist impetus of the 1930s, revealed notably by the construction of Le Corbusier and Pierre Jeanneret’s Clarté building, to the brutal interruption of the Second World War, architecture underwent a radical upheaval, moving from a quest for utopia to a confrontation with reality. The MAH explores architectural concepts inspired by masters such as Le Corbusier and Jean Prouvé, using reconstructed period pavilions and sets of furniture to illustrate the architectural evolutions that modernity was able to construct and deconstruct.

The opening night presents a unique experience featuring interactive exhibitions, live demonstrations, and artistic performances, all set in a lively and welcoming atmosphere. Join us to discover local and international talents in an exceptional setting.
