To mark 30 years of Hortus Botanicus Helveticus, this exhibition presents the diversity and conservation work of Swiss botanical gardens through thirty panels. Each display showcases living collections and highlights the scientific, conservation and educational roles gardens play in safeguarding plant biodiversity. The presentation combines photographic and interpretative elements with botanical specimens to reveal how gardens document, protect and communicate the value of plant life.

3 July – 5 September

Chris Lovasoa Kauffmann presents a new body of work that explores architectural form and symbolic resonance through sculpture, painting and installation. Minimal geometries and textured surfaces negotiate scale and monumentality, while layered materials and subtle color shifts invite reflection on construction, memory and cultural lineage. The works balance rigorous formalism with tactile evidence of process, proposing an austere yet intimate meditation on how built forms shape perception and collective narratives.

Opening: Thursday 2 July, 18:00

6 June – 29 March

Julian Charrière presents a major project that traces geological, climatic and planetary time through sculpture, installation, film and photography. Using stone, ice, coal, lava, metals and fossil matter as both material and subject, the works examine entangled histories of nature, extraction, industry and myth. Charrière compresses deep timescales into sculptural processes — coring glacial boulders repaired with precious metals, mechanically transforming ancient rocks, and reframing extractive landscapes as sites of destruction and wonder.

30 May – 27 September

This exhibition explores the careers of Édouard Naville, Switzerland’s pioneering Egyptologist, and his wife Marguerite Naville, whose contributions alongside him are now recognised in their own right. Through archival documents, excavation records and pharaonic objects, the presentation illuminates their archaeological practice and Marguerite’s role, while situating their work within the political, religious and humanitarian commitments that shaped scholarly life at the turn of the twentieth century.

In French and in English.
