Dans tous les sens

Booking Required

Sign-language guided visit led by cultural mediator Julie Abbou-Brendel that transforms the museum collection into a sensory exploration. Participants encounter sculpture and armor through touch, sample pigments and flowers, and engage with Impressionist paintings via multisensory prompts.
The format foregrounds accessibility and sensory translation, questioning how tactile and gustatory experiences reshape art perception for deaf and hard-of-hearing audiences. It emphasizes embodied encounter and communicative adaptation rather than conventional visual-led mediation.

It evokes the sustained energy of popular commemoration and the work required to keep ceremonial histories alive.

Permanent exhibition

What does humanitarian action actually look like? Personal stories, objects and immersive installations bring visitors face-to-face with questions of dignity, displacement, family and resilience. The permanent exhibition is currently evolving towards a completely redesigned experience in 2028 — and remains open throughout the process.

11 November – 9 January

This exhibition explores how John Armleder, Tomomi Yamakawa, and Lindsay Caldicott transform fragments into new visual structures through accumulation, repetition, and recomposition. Moving between paper collages, delicate yet brutalist staple sculptures, and intricate radiograph compositions, the artists shift between two- and three-dimensional forms to reveal how new visual languages emerge from existing materials.

Opening: Thursday 12 November at 18:00 (Nuit des Bains)

17 September – 19 December

Design Continuum brings twentieth-century design icons into dialogue with contemporary creations. Works by Finn Juhl, Gianfranco Frattini, and Antoine Philippon & Jacqueline Lecoq are presented alongside pieces by Faye Toogood, Studiopepe, and Tobia Scarpa. The exhibition also highlights Clément Thévenot, Domingos Tótora, and Palma, whose work explores the shifting boundaries between furniture, artisanal craftsmanship, and singular artistic objects. Together, these voices trace a refined conversation across eras, materials, and approaches to form.

6 May – 10 January

Mi Mawai and Madzerokai present an immersive audiovisual installation born from a residency exchange between the Brazilian Amazon and Geneva. The work invites immersion in Baniwa cosmology through video, layered soundscapes, flutes, traditional singing and dance. Visitors are invited to lie in hammocks and on mats for contemplative encounters with projected landscapes and ritual sonic textures. The piece foregrounds ancestral knowledge, collective memory and multisensory modes of storytelling.

16 September – 31 January

This second chapter of Sonia Zannettacci’s exhibition revisits the legacy of Nouveau Réalisme through works by Arman, César, Christo, Dufrêne, Klein, Niki de Saint Phalle, Rotella, Spoerri, Tinguely and Villeglé. Emerging from the consumer city, their practices challenged traditional painting and sculpture by presenting the object itself. The exhibition reflects on appropriation, accumulation and transformation, following Pierre Restany’s idea of a poetic recycling of urban, industrial and advertising reality.

Opening: (AVV) 5 November, 16:00
