Guided Tour [EN]: Jean Tinguely Exhibition

Join an art historian for a guided tour.

To mark the 100th anniversary of Jean Tinguely’s birth, the MAH celebrates the artist’s deep ties to the museum with a vibrant tribute. A restored kinetic sculpture—Si c’est noir, je m’appelle Jean (1960)—takes center stage, joined by a major donation of graphic works from the Niki Charitable Art Foundation. Echoing the spirit of Tinguely’s last exhibition at the Musée Rath in 1983, the show features over thirty mechanical sculptures and rarely seen works on paper, many connected to Geneva’s cultural history.

The duo exhibition Memory Shelf by Gritli Faulhaber and Augusta Lardy Micheli invites viewers into a delicate dialogue between presence and absence.
