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.
