And yet it all began so well. Living in Switzerland in the 1930s

From the modernist impetus of the 1930s, revealed notably by the construction of Le Corbusier and Pierre Jeanneret’s Clarté building, to the brutal interruption of the Second World War, architecture underwent a radical upheaval, moving from a quest for utopia to a confrontation with reality. The MAH explores architectural concepts inspired by masters such as Le Corbusier and Jean Prouvé, using reconstructed period pavilions and sets of furniture to illustrate the architectural evolutions that modernity was able to construct and deconstruct.

Join a thematic tour guided by an art historian.

In Together Separated, Rebecca Brodskis explores the delicate tension between intimacy and isolation in a hyperconnected yet emotionally distant world.

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.
