Musée d'histoire des sciences

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.

Onironautiche is a lyrical performance by Sara Calvanelli that explores the accordion’s aquatic and lunar resonances through voice and sound. Mixing delicate vocal lines, extended accordion techniques and attentive pacing, the work evokes underwater textures and nocturnal imagery. Rooted in Calvanelli’s itinerant practice from Tuscany, the piece blurs composition and improvisation, inviting a contemplative, immersive listening experience that foregrounds timbre, silence and subtle theatrical framing.

Sunday 29 November, 14:00

Step back to a time long before dinosaurs and explore the strange world preserved in the Burgess Shale. Follow the clues left by ancient creatures, discover how paleontologists study fossils, and meet amazing animals like Opabinia, with its five eyes and claw-tipped proboscis. This journey into deep time shows how scientists uncover secrets hidden in rock and rebuild the story of life on Earth.

Kids ages 7 and up.

Sunday 29 November, 11:00

Performed and created by Romuald Barbey, this interactive magic and mentalism show blends chance, intuition and perception through close-up illusions and staged mental experiments. Audience participation is central: spectators are invited to choose, think and influence outcomes as striking coincidences, improbable predictions and moments of levitation unfold. The staging balances humour and tension, provoking reflection on what we think we see and decide, while delivering moments of astonishment and intimate wonder.
