Musée d’art et d’histoire, Geneva The Musée d’art et d’histoire is the largest art museum in Geneva and one of the most important in Switzerland. The museum is located in the Tranchées district, on the former fortification ring east of the old town. The building was built by the architect Marc Camoletti from 1903 to 1910. The construction was financed with a legacy from the banker Charles Galland (1816–1901). It has a square floor plan with sides measuring 60 m around an inner courtyard. It offers 7000 m² of exhibition space on four floors with skylight rooms on the top floor. The main façade is decorated with sculptures by Paul Amlehn. In front of the triangular gable above the entrance is an allegory of the arts with painting, sculpture, drawing and architecture. On the left corner of the building there is an allegory of archaeology, on the right corner an allegory of arts and crafts. The upper frieze contains the names of Geneva artists: Dassier, Baud-Bovy, Saint-Ours, Agasse, Töpffer, Liotard, Calame, Diday, Menn, Petitot, Arlaud and Pradier.

Musée d’art et d’histoire, Genève The history of the Musée d'art et d'histoire de Genève is closely linked to the history of the city. It has its roots in the Reformation and has continued to be written since then. The Museum of Art and History and its collections are notable for having been created by a civil and civic will. The MAH has therefore benefited from donations and bequests that reflect the taste, generosity and curiosity of the city's inhabitants. With its collections, which have grown through donations and purchases, it tells the story of Geneva and its region, of its artists and craftsmen. The works and objects it preserves also testify to the passion of people central to its history: collectors, archaeologists and travellers. They all share their vision of the world with us through their legacies and help to nourish the spirit of openness and hospitality that is so dear to Geneva. 1776 FOUNDATION OF THE ART SOCIETY The Société des Arts was founded in 1776 with the aim of contributing to the progress and promotion of crafts, industry, commerce and agriculture in the Republic of Geneva. It is interested in the fine arts and builds up a collection of art objects, paintings, prints and casts from antiquity. It is committed to promoting drawing lessons and regularly organizes important painting salons.
