Family visit to discover an aspect of the MEG temporary exhibition.
As part of the “Partir en livres” program, whose theme this summer is “The animal and us”, let’s discover the story of the boy kidnapped by the salmon because he disrespected them. After observing the Salmon Chief Mask, let’s listen to the story of Shanyaak’utlaax in the library’s music room. The tour ends with a listening session to Alaskan native sounds.

Immerse yourself in 15,000 years of Geneva history, reinterpreted by New York artist Carol Bove, born in Geneva in 1971. The exhibition takes a fresh look at the MAH collection, inviting visitors to follow a timeline from regional archaeological discoveries to the most recent contemporary pieces. Presented chronologically, the works take a creative, anthropological, interactive and educational approach. Between ancient artifacts, masterpieces and everyday objects, this new Carte Blanche revisits the museum space, blurring the boundaries between art and everyday objects. An invitation to touch, feel and observe in a new way, free from convention, to redefine our relationship with art and the museum.
Explore Geneva’s history in and around the Temple de la Fusterie through three insightful elements. Discover Jean Stern’s photomontage “Déplié,” a contemporary recreation of Konrad Witz’s “The Miraculous Draught of Fish.” Delve into historical panels that trace the story of the Reformation and the temple itself. Lastly, engage with “Un tableau mais pas que. La Pêche miraculeuse de Konrad Witz” by Anouk Dunant Gonzenbach, a book that revisits the artwork and its historical context. This project is spearheaded by the Protestant Church of Geneva in collaboration with various partners.
Delphine Reist and Laurent Faulon transform Villa Bernasconi with an immersive exhibition that returns each room to its original function. Through object-based artworks, automatons, accumulations, and scale shifts, they craft an atmosphere of eeriness and unease. Faulon converts the villa into an ambiguous space, while Reist examines alienating work practices. Their works engage in a dialogue on private, social, and political themes. The exhibition is accompanied by a variety of events, including tours, performances, readings, lectures, and workshops for children.
On the first Sunday of each month, the Musée Ariana offers free themed tours without any need for registration. Visitors can admire the museum’s masterpieces or delve into the evolution of stained glass from the 19th to the 21st century.
The MEG’s Sunday Cinema offers a free film series focusing on music and current societal themes. Each month, documentaries, fictional films, and animations are screened in the Museum’s Auditorium on a first-come, first-served basis, with no prior registration needed.
In collaboration with the Photo Elysée Museum, the “Dialogues On Humanity” exhibition explores how photography can deepen our understanding of humanitarian principles. Through five themed sections, the images encourage reflection on global crises and the significance of humanitarian efforts. Each set of photographs is paired with questions to stimulate dialogue and invite visitors to share their reactions. This project is a joint effort by the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation, the Photo Elysée Museum, and the International Committee of the Red Cross.
