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.
Lie back with your baby and explore the museum through touch, sound, and gentle movement. A cultural mediator and musician Morgane Frémaux invite you to listen to rhythms, tap soft textures, and follow small playful gestures. Babies will discover different noises, calming melodies, and bright colours while adults join in guided interactions. Short activities encourage attention, bonding, and sensory discovery in a warm, rhythmic atmosphere.
