WANDER / WONDER invites you to see the world through a photographer’s eyes. Captured in Japan, Marrakech, China, Hong Kong, Croatia and Egypt, these images explore cultural contrasts, the beauty of places, the emotions they evoke, and the little details that spark our curiosity and inspire us to discover the world.
Opening: Wednesday, 28 October, 18:30.
Tucked inside the historic Commanderie de Compesières, this unusual collection traces the military and humanitarian history of the Order of Malta through uniforms, paintings, manuscripts, medals and coins. A niche museum with a setting to match — visits are by appointment, so a little planning is required.
Your eyes are about to lie to you. More than 60 optical illusions, holograms, and immersive rooms play with scale, perspective, and perception in this hands-on museum. Unashamedly fun, highly photogenic, and an easy pick for families, friends, or a rainy Geneva afternoon.
Our eyes are naturally drawn to light and what shines. Yet what could be more fascinating than shadow? Shadows have enabled many fundamental discoveries: the shape of the Earth, the calculation of its circumference, the identification of electrons, and the understanding of planetary motion. They accompany us and enrich our thinking. Come and explore them to learn more about their role in science.
Exhibition in French & in English.
Compagnie de 1602 presents a centenary exhibition that unveils the behind-the-scenes life of a long-standing civic tradition.
Through costumes, ceremonial objects, musical gestures and archival memories, the display juxtaposes individual passions with the collective narrative of communal celebration. The presentation foregrounds performative ritual, material culture and intergenerational transmission, revealing how public pageantry sustains identity and belonging. It evokes the sustained energy of popular commemoration and the work required to keep ceremonial histories alive.
Opening: Tuesday 27 October, 18:00 – 20:00
Béchir Boussandel presents a body of work that unfolds from shadow and the heat of desert palettes. Through paintings, sculptures and delicate bird watercolours populated by anonymous figures, he examines displacement, crossing and survival within North African desert landscapes. The pieces use ochres, reds and material contrast to evoke memory and shifting identities, employing an atmospheric visual language that balances figuration and absence.
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.
