Nestled in the heart of Geneva’s Old Town, the Museum of Art and History ranks among Switzerland’s largest museums. Boasting a collection of around 650,000 objects spanning applied arts, fine arts, and archaeology across five floors, the museum embraces a dynamic and innovative approach to showcase its treasures through unexpected exhibitions. Annually, it hosts approximately ten temporary exhibitions, frequently inviting contemporary artists to contribute. The museum organizes a variety of surprising events, including yoga classes in the galleries and after-work parties.
In August, the museum courtyard is set to be transformed into a vibrant stage for contemporary electronic music, thanks to DJ sets organized in collaboration with the Headfun association.

And yet it all began so well. Living in Switzerland in the 1930s
From the modernist impetus of the 1930s, revealed notably by the construction of Le Corbusier and Pierre Jeanneret’s Clarté building, to the brutal interruption of the Second World War, architecture underwent a radical upheaval, moving from a quest for utopia to a confrontation with reality. The MAH explores architectural concepts inspired by masters such as Le Corbusier and Jean Prouvé, using reconstructed period pavilions and sets of furniture to illustrate the architectural evolutions that modernity was able to construct and deconstruct.
