18 September – 18 October

Cosmos and Symphony

Four artists present works that probe resonances between microcosm and macrocosm, from cellular structures to galactic formations. Combining painting, sculpture, immersive installation, photography and sound, the exhibition foregrounds material processes and perceptual scale. Through microscopic imagery, enlarged textures and sonic layers, the artists explore embodiment, cosmological narratives and the contingencies of matter. Interdisciplinary techniques—mixed media, bio-inspired materials and site-responsive lighting—invite reflective engagement with scale, fragility and relational systems.

Permanent exhibition

Geneva art, out in the vineyards. Housed in a converted agricultural building on the Château du Crest estate, this collection follows three centuries of the Geneva School through landscapes, lake views, portraits and still lifes — including works by Hodler, Liotard, Agasse and Pradier. Art followed by a countryside wander? Yes, please.

26 September – 31 March

This evolving exhibition explores Geneva painting from public collections, bringing together 82 works created between 1444 and 1782. Unfolding in three acts, the exhibition evolves alongside the museum’s ongoing research and restoration work.

Act I: Before 1535, Surviving the Storm – 26 September 2026 – 21 March 2027
Rare works that survived the Protestant iconoclasm of 1535, including Konrad Witz’s 1444 panels.

Act II: 1536–1685, The Secular Turn – 23 March – 19 September 2027
Following the Reformation, Geneva’s artistic landscape was transformed, with artists increasingly turning to secular subjects for both private and public settings.

Act III: 1685–1782, A Spectacular Flourishing – 25 September 2027 – March 2028
The Age of Enlightenment saw painting flourish in Geneva, with portraits and landscapes by artists including Robert Gardelle, Barthélemy Guillibaud and Jean-Étienne Liotard.

An ever-evolving journey through nearly three centuries of painting in Geneva, revealing its history, artistic techniques and the fascinating work behind its conservation.

Permanent exhibition

Five thousand years of ideas on paper — and beyond. Manuscripts, first editions, papyri and rare books trace the history of human thought and writing, from ancient civilisations to modern literature. Shakespeare, Goethe and countless other voices meet in Mario Botta’s striking underground museum.

7 – 18 October

Echo Chamber is an immersive, interactive and participatory exhibition that probes self-image and perception. Housed in a contained space, it stages a sequence of installations and collaborative artworks that invite visitors to engage, modify and reflect on representations of identity. The show extends into a virtual environment, using audiovisual and sensor-driven elements to examine how images circulate, transform and are interpreted—raising questions about gaze, agency and consent in contemporary visual culture.

8 October – 21 November

Thomas Fougeirol’s first solo exhibition investigates painting as an uncertain field between surface and relief, image and matter. Through a sequence of repaints layered over earlier Dust Paintings, Fougeirol activates texture, pigment and gesture to blur pictorial depth and sculptural presence. The show foregrounds material encounter and process-led decisions, emphasising modulation of light, density and sedimented histories within oil-and-pigment canvases that oscillate between representation and objecthood.

Opening: Wednesday 7 October

18 September – 15 November

Conceived by artist Pauline Coquart, Short Ass Attention Span #3 mixes literary experiment and live performance, assembling texts that range from apocalyptic sketches to risqué autofiction and political essays on sexuality. Editors and collaborators Ethan Assouline and Gaia Vincensini shaped the selection and the edition’s visual identity, while attentive editorial direction and inventive layout treat writing as performative material. The project foregrounds plural contemporary voices, shifting between intimate confession, sharp aphorism and sprawling narrative to create a charged, porous atmosphere.
