The exhibition at Château de Prangins transports us to the golden age of elite exploration journeys from 1869 to 1914. Through the perspectives of Swiss globetrotters like Alfred Bertrand and Emilio Balli, it traces the advent of early tourist circuits in a seven-stage experience that feels straight out of a Jules Verne novel.

The exhibition delves into the garden as a symbol of dialogue between humans and their environment through a series of installations and sculptures. Positioned in everyday transit spaces, the artworks challenge our coexistence with infrastructures and showcase the garden as an ecosystem where humans, plants, insects, and microorganisms interact. Two pieces, created in collaboration with the BIG, will be displayed in the community ahead of the Biennale Intrepide des Espaces d’Art in Geneva. Free guided tours are available upon registration.
ABSTRAKTIONEN / ABSTRAÇÕES brings together diverse approaches to abstraction across two generations and continents. From Traugott Spiess’s meditative gestures to Niura Bellavinha’s layered color fields, Herbert Sobral’s playful contrasts, Fernando De La Rocque’s dreamlike structures, and Antonio Bokel’s geometric compositions rooted in street art, the exhibition traces a century of abstract practices. A visual journey through spontaneity, memory, language, and public space.
Opening on Thursday July 10, from 18:00 to 21:00 on the occasion of the Nuit des Bains.
International artist Iris Leroyer presents OPUS CARBONE, a groundbreaking exhibition that examines the impact of human activity on living organisms. Through charcoal sculptures, paintings made from carbon-based natural materials, and installations, the work engages the public with the current ecological crisis, prompting reflection on environmental issues and our relationship with nature.
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.
The WRP Foundation is showcasing artist Luis Marques in his exhibition “Circular Storms.” This exhibition delves into the inner space through hand-drawn circles, representing unity, infinity, and introspection, and embodying mental and meditative landscapes. By employing ordinary and fragile materials, Marques highlights the vulnerability and beauty of the ephemeral. His work balances mastery and surrender, meditation and unrest, creating a sensitive mapping of an intimate journey.
