18 September – 15 November

Short Ass Attention Span #3

Conceived by artist Pauline Coquart, Short Ass Attention Span #3 mixes literary experiment and live performance, assembling texts that range from apocalyptic sketches to risqué autofiction and political essays on sexuality. Editors and collaborators Ethan Assouline and Gaia Vincensini shaped the selection and the edition’s visual identity, while attentive editorial direction and inventive layout treat writing as performative material. The project foregrounds plural contemporary voices, shifting between intimate confession, sharp aphorism and sprawling narrative to create a charged, porous atmosphere.

Permanent exhibition

Even if you’re not a watch person, this might change your mind. Around 2,500 watches, automata, precious objects and enamel miniatures chart five centuries of watchmaking, from extraordinary early timepieces to Patek Philippe creations. Geneva craftsmanship at its most meticulous.

30 October – 19 December

Telluric Silhouettes brings together works by Reinata Sadimba (Mozambique) and Tiemar Tegene (Ethiopia). The exhibition juxtaposes Sadimba’s hand-built ceramics and Tegene’s monoprints, united by a carnal engagement with material, a palette of blacks and greys, and an emphasis on texture.
Both artists sculpt or incise human silhouettes—engraving, carving and modeling figures—evoking phases of existence and emotions such as love, grief and discord. Mineral pigments (lime, graphite) and dense patterning lend a telluric, communal resonance to works that question embodiment and collective memory.

Opening: Thursday 29 October, 18:00 – 20:00

Permanent exhibition

More a time capsule than a traditional museum. Step into Countess Zoubov’s elegant 18th-century world, where furniture, paintings, porcelain, and decorative arts remain arranged much as she intended in the 1950s. Among the 525 recorded pieces are numerous objects connected to Catherine II’s Russia.

Permanent exhibition

Five thousand years of ideas on paper — and beyond. Manuscripts, first editions, papyri and rare books trace the history of human thought and writing, from ancient civilisations to modern literature. Shakespeare, Goethe and countless other voices meet in Mario Botta’s striking underground museum.

19 September – 29 November

Selected works from the 20th Concours international de céramique present contemporary approaches to clay across functional and sculptural practices. The exhibition gathers emerging and established makers whose pieces range from wheel-thrown vessels and hand-built forms to experimental sculptural objects and site-aware installations. Emphasis is placed on technique, surface treatment and material research, revealing diverse glazing, firing and modeling strategies. Curatorial selection highlights formal innovation and dialogue between tradition and experimentation within contemporary ceramic practice.

24 April – 3 January

An extensive survey assembled from a long-standing research collection devoted to glass, this exhibition takes a contemporary look at a millennia-old material. Over two hundred glass and mixed-media works, including sculptural objects, design pieces and installations, testify to a transdisciplinary experimental spirit. Featuring artists such as Ettore Sottsass, Pierre Charpin, Betty Woodman, Bob Wilson, Giuseppe Penone, Jana Sterbak and James Lee Byars, the show examines materiality, technique and the porous boundaries between craft, design and contemporary art.

Opening : Thursday 23 April, 18:00
