Permanent exhibition

Calvin, Geneva, and a movement that reshaped Europe. Just steps from St Peter’s Cathedral, the MIR traces the Reformation through paintings, manuscripts, rare books, objects and multimedia — turning a complex chapter of religious and political history into an accessible visit.

17 September – 31 October

Lilian Bourgeat creates hyperrealistic sculptures that magnify everyday objects into monumental forms. Meticulous attention to surface, material and colour transforms benches, rain boots and soda cans into seductive yet unsettling sculptures. By altering scale while preserving recognizable details, his pieces oscillate between functionality and absurdity, displacing the viewer and inviting fresh perceptions of ordinary gestures and urban routines. The work interrogates how familiar objects shape memory, use and the boundaries between the banal and the monumental.

Opening: Thursday 17 September, 18:00

12 – 24 October

Yasuka Ishikawa, founder of Midnight Blossom, invites you to discover “Nos Kimonos” (Our Kimonos), an exhibition that presents the kimono in a new light: not as a static museum piece, but as a living garment worn in everyday life in Geneva.

Opening: Thursday, October 15 at 17:00, with a kitsuke (traditional Japanese dressing) demonstration at 18:30, and refreshments provided by small Geneva-based businesses dedicated to showcasing authentic Japan.

The exhibition is part of the “L’Automne de la culture japonaise 2026” program, supported by the Consulate of Japan in Geneva.

2 September – 3 January

EXEM aux urnes – 40 Years of Political Posters brings together 40 political posters by Geneva-based illustrator EXEM between 1988 and 2023. Spanning nearly four decades of Swiss direct democracy, the exhibition explores the distinctive language of political posters at the intersection of graphic art, satire, and political commentary.

Through EXEM’s sharp and engaging imagery, the exhibition traces the political issues and communication styles that have shaped Swiss public life, and offers insight into the artist’s creative process and the stories behind his iconic posters.

Opening: Tuesday 1 September, 18:00

3 October – 7 February

Jean-Étienne Liotard’s portraits of the imperial family, notably Marie‑Antoinette, include eleven drawings widely regarded as masterpieces. This project examines the identification of the sitter children and the works’ provenance through a cross-disciplinary investigation. In collaboration with the University of Oxford, the Idiap research institute and the School of Criminal Sciences at the University of Lausanne, historians of art and specialists in the eighteenth century join AI researchers and forensic experts to reveal new insights into authorship and history.

Permanent exhibition

Skateboards belong in museums too. Pulp68 traces skate culture from the 1950s to today through boards, graphics, objects, books, and stories collected over decades. Raw, personal and refreshingly far from the white-cube museum experience.
