The Chinese Women exhibition explores various aspects of women’s lives in Chinese culture through a selection of works highlighting their condition and the tensions associated with it. It begins by examining the traditional representation of women in art, from the funerary sculptures of the Tang dynasty to portraits of mature wives from the Qing dynasty. The exhibition also looks at the idealized image of the Chinese woman in Europe, spread through export porcelain and chinoiseries by artists like Watteau and Boucher. It further addresses themes such as marriage, female ornaments, foot binding, and protective female deities, concluding with the stories of Chinese women artists, from Dong Xiaowan to Peng Wei. The exhibition includes contributions from the Musée Ariana, the Museum of Art and History, the Ethnography Museum of Geneva, and the Rietberg Museum of Zurich.

Experience the Jean Tinguely exhibition through a kinesthetic approach that heightens awareness of body and space, guided by a Feldenkrais practitioner and a cultural mediator.

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.
