Set within the elegant 19th-century Villa Bartolli in the picturesque Parc de la Perle du Lac on the lakeside, the Musée d’histoire des sciences offers a nuanced exploration of scientific evolution. The museum’s collection features scientific instruments from the cabinets of Geneva scientists spanning the 17th to the 19th century. Beyond its permanent exhibition and temporary displays, the museum actively engages the public in discussions about science through events like the biennial Nuit de la Science, scientific cafés, and conferences.
The exhibition invites you on a journey through anatomical models, casts, waxworks, and illustrated antique books. Modern tools like microscopy, medical imaging, and 3D printing uncover the inner workings of organs, currently utilized by medical students at the University of Geneva. This is a collaboration with the University of Geneva. Some images may not be suitable for younger or sensitive audiences.
Join Thomas Dolivo at the Museum of the History of Science for a talk on Skylab, NASA’s pioneering space station, followed by a social gathering with drinks. Weather permitting, there will be an opportunity to observe the sun. The schedule may be adjusted depending on the weather conditions.
