An interactive exhibition that invites visitors of all ages to explore the biological clocks that govern life on Earth. Through hands-on installations, immersive displays and scientific demonstrations, the show unveils the mechanisms and rhythms of circadian, seasonal and developmental timing. Multimedia exhibits and experimental stations illustrate how organisms synchronize with their environment and why respecting these rhythms matters for ecosystem balance. Educational workshops offer practical learning for school groups and families.

20 February – 29 November

Marie Ducaté presents Simultanés, an installation that transposes the spirit and traces of her studio into a theatre of objects. Combining ceramics, tracing paper, watercolor, textile and glass, the work sits at the intersection of pop culture and art history. The installation foregrounds a chromatic range from vivid colour to transparency and investigates the sensuality of materials, inviting close attention to texture, surface and the intimate relationships between form and materiality. Curated by Claire FitzGerald.

7 – 10 May

GemGenève presents an exhibition curated by Pauline d’Abrigeon, exploring the interplay between artisan hands and rare mineral and organic materials. The show brings together over a hundred loaned objects — jade, coral, onyx, agate, amber, tortoiseshell and more — alongside nearly forty works from the Baur Foundation.

It highlights lapidary and conservation techniques through live métiers d’art demonstrations, workshops, panel discussions, and guided tours on request, while a pop‑up bookshop and author signing complement the program.

17 April – 30 May

This exhibition presents portraits and personal testimonies of about twenty Swiss centenarians alongside results from the SWISS100 interdisciplinary research project. Photographs, audio testimonies, archival documents and data visualisations dialogue to reveal everyday realities of longevity. The display combines portraiture and research to challenge clichés, exploring memory, loss, care and social infrastructures that shape life after a hundred. Visitors encounter intimate narratives framed by scientific analysis and visual storytelling.

Opening: Thursday 16 April, 18:30 – 20:30

13 March – 16 May

Geneva-based artist Christian Robert-Tissot transforms everyday words, slogans and street expressions into bold visual artworks. By shifting these familiar phrases out of their usual context, he reveals their rhythms, ambiguities and hidden meanings, turning ordinary language into playful reflections on daily life.

Opening during the Nuit des Bains, Thursday 12 March, 18:00.

22 January – 9 May

This exhibition pays tribute to Clifford Possum Tjapaltjarri, a seminal figure of Australian Aboriginal art and a pioneer of the Western Desert painting movement. Drawing on Dreaming stories and the ancestral landscapes of his Anmatyerre heritage, Possum translated traditional sand and body painting motifs into monumental canvases that intertwine myth, geography and memory. His richly patterned, large-scale works balance Indigenous cosmology with a striking sense of modern abstraction, affirming his lasting influence on global contemporary art.

Opening during the Nuit des Bains, Thursday 22 January, from 18:00.
