Located in the heart of Geneva’s Old Town, Maison Tavel is a historic building that reflects the urban and social evolution of the city. As the oldest house in Geneva, it has been transformed into a museum dedicated to local history. Through its stone walls and various exhibitions, it narrates the daily life of Genevans across different eras, providing a unique glimpse into the architectural and cultural heritage of the region.
Geneva, before it became the Geneva we know. Set in the city’s oldest surviving private residence, Maison Tavel tells the story of local life from the Middle Ages to the 19th century. Don’t miss the impressive Magnin Relief, a huge model of Geneva before its fortifications disappeared.
Tiptoe through a dark night and follow the creak of wooden ladders. Long ago, strangers came with tall ladders to try to climb into the sleeping town. Listen for whispers, shadows and clinking metal as you investigate who took part in this secret attack. Solve simple clues, imagine the footsteps and recreate the scene with sounds and movement. This story-led adventure invites curiosity and teamwork while stirring the senses and imagination.
