As it approaches its fortieth anniversary, Maison Tavel has revamped its spaces to include a floor for temporary events, a reimagined permanent exhibition, and a music-dedicated salon. The exhibition “Quel froid !” exlplores the depictions of winter, showcasing paintings from the 17th century to the present alongside historical and contemporary photographs.
The exhibition showcases the works of the Geneva Photography Survey laureates from 2019, 2020, and 2021, focusing on the theme of mobility. A collaboration between the Geneva Library and the Geneva Photography Center, it highlights pieces by Zoé Aubry, Gabriela Löffel, and Laurence Rasti. Their projects explore the movement of people, the structuring of migratory flows, and bodily transformations, providing a critical perspective on migration policies and societal pressures.
Opening: Thursday 30 October, 18:00
Delve into biodiversity and reflect on our role in its preservation within the heart of the garden. This journey, enhanced by Geneva’s Municipal Biodiversity Strategy, features brief texts displayed on veils designed to educate the public. The program also includes discussion walks, a memory game, and a series of podcasts focused on biodiversity.
The exhibition delves into the delicate and harmonious grace in 16th and 17th-century Flemish painting, examining how the masters of this period used color and intricate details to achieve this elusive quality. Grace, seen as a feminine attribute that favors delight over strength, suggests a balance between the soul and nature.
Opening during the Art en Vieille-Ville collective vernissage on Thursday, November 6, from 16:00 to 21:00.
Anjesa Dellova’s work, Finding Words, Fighting Words, delves into the challenging journey of weaving a fragmented identity into a comprehensive narrative.

The display is further enriched with an accompanying text by Paolo Baggi.
Finissage: Thursday 13 November, 18:00 – 21:00
