Musée Rath

Musée Rath

Opened in 1826 on Geneva’s Place de Neuve, this neoclassical building was one of the first in Europe designed specifically for the display of art. Known as Switzerland’s first fine arts museum, it now serves as a venue for temporary exhibitions organized by the Musée d’Art et d’Histoire. Its programming highlights private and public collections, watchmaking displays in partnership with the Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Genève, and collaborations with local cultural institutions.
