Located in the heart of Carouge, the Musée de Carouge is primarily dedicated to preserving the town’s heritage and organizing temporary exhibitions related to local life. These exhibitions often delve into the history of Carouge and its residents. The museum actively participates in local events, such as the Printemps Carougeois and the Parcours Céramique Carougeois, and offers public guided tours and children’s workshops for each exhibition.
This thematic exhibition examines how street-name plaques conceal biographies, choices and memories that shape Carouge’s identity. It highlights figures commemorated in the urban fabric—political actors, artists and local personalities—through photographs, archival documents and works from the museum collection.
Combining historical records and visual materials, the show reconstructs the city’s transformations and collective memory, questioning how naming practices inscribe social values and local histories into everyday streetscapes.
