Built between 1903 and 1910 by Genevan architect Marc Camoletti, with the aim of regrouping under one roof a number of dispersed public collections, the Musée d'art et d'histoire is one of Switzerland's most important encyclopaedic museums. Boasting over half a million objects including a number of major works and unique series that have made it an institution of international stature, the museum maintains a permanent exhibition of a selection of itsapplied arts, fine arts and archaeology collections. Regional archaeological discoveries, Egyptian and Classical antiquities, artworks, furniture, arms, musical instruments, paintings and sculptures all bear witness to 15,000 years of history. A renovation and enlargement project is currently underway and constitutes one of the major challenges facing the Museum over the coming years.

This museum is located in the Old Town, with free admissions. Its collection of Swiss paintings is very nice, especially those by Ferdinand Hodler Wolfgang-Adam Töpffer. The building is impressive, too.

This is a free museum highlighting the history of Geneva. The 3D model of the city on the top floor was fascinating. Do not miss it.
