Nouvelles d’Anticythère

Ready to dive into the dark depths off the island of Antikythera to discover an ancient shipwreck? The exhibition Nouvelles d’Anticythère presents the research carried out between 2021 and 2025 by the Classical Archaeology Unit of the University of Geneva, in collaboration with the Greek Ministry of Culture. It examines the famous shipwreck discovered in 1900 — a major merchant vessel that sank in the 1st century BCE — and invites visitors to discover the site and understand why it remains a key subject for archaeological research across the Mediterranean.

Morpho is the first photographic exhibition by Lamine Jammeh (Lemz.O) that honors dancers who assert their identities beyond appearance. Through staged portraits and a sensitive visual language, Jammeh explores themes of identity, embodiment and performative selfhood. The series celebrates diversity, courage and the expressive power of movement, presenting intimate, high-contrast images that foreground presence and gesture. Scenography by Lola Delbec and portraits include Sofiane Chalal, Missy NRC, Samantha Panda Laley, Maela Bouguila and Nicolas Meyapan.

19 January – 27 March

German photographer Lia Darjes presents the Plates-I-XXXI series, born from an observation of a squirrel approaching a leftover cake during lockdown. She reconstructs domestic meals, collects their detritus: dishes, flowers and crumbs, and arranges them with care as the beginnings of contemporary still lifes. She then sets a camera programmed to trigger in her absence, sometimes leaving it for nights, allowing animal intervention to capture suspended moments. The series celebrates subtle coexistence between humans and animals and the quiet beauty of a shared world.

In collaboration with the Centre de la photographie de Genève.

23 January – 2 April

An immersive exhibition exploring neutrinos, the nearly undetectable particles that traverse Earth by the billions each second. Through large-scale photographic works, scientific models, archival imagery and interactive displays, the show traces the experimental ingenuity behind detectors such as Super Kamiokande. It juxtaposes cutting‑edge instrumentation with poetic reflections on scale, invisibility and the cosmos, inviting visitors to consider how technological precision reveals fundamental processes that shape our understanding of matter and the universe.

18 February – 23 December

Jean-Jacques Rousseau’s herbarium, compiled in the 1770s for the printer-bookseller Charles-Joseph Panckoucke, is presented through preserved pressed specimens, its original catalogue and related botanical publications. The historical collection combines scientific observation and aesthetic arrangement, revealing Enlightenment approaches to collecting, classification and the popularisation of plant study. Detailed notes and annotations illuminate Rousseau’s techniques and the materiality of specimens, inviting reflection on how personal curiosity and scholarly networks shaped early modern natural history.

22 January – 9 May

This exhibition pays tribute to Clifford Possum Tjapaltjarri, a seminal figure of Australian Aboriginal art and a pioneer of the Western Desert painting movement. Drawing on Dreaming stories and the ancestral landscapes of his Anmatyerre heritage, Possum translated traditional sand and body painting motifs into monumental canvases that intertwine myth, geography and memory. His richly patterned, large-scale works balance Indigenous cosmology with a striking sense of modern abstraction, affirming his lasting influence on global contemporary art.

Opening during the Nuit des Bains, Thursday 22 January, from 18:00.
