The Geneva Museum of Art and History deploys an encyclopedic collection where antiquities, European painting and Swiss creation interact in a monumental palace.
Inaugurated on October 15, 1910, the Museum of Art and History brings together in the building designed by Marc Camoletti Geneva funds previously dispersed between several institutions. Its encyclopedic ambition combines archaeology, fine arts, graphic arts, applied arts, watchmaking, enamelling and numismatics. More than six hundred and fifty thousand objects cover millennia of creation, with major ensembles dedicated to Ferdinand Hodler, Jean-Étienne Liotard, Konrad Witz and Mediterranean antiques. Modern painting finds an important place there. Monet confronts the garden of Giverny with the snow of Argenteuil, Renoir transforms his son Jean into a tender presence, while Van Gogh concentrates his energy in a bouquet with a blue vase. These four works reveal the diversity of the modern gaze within a museum designed as a global memory of Geneva. The "Museum of Art and History of Geneva" selection notably compares Corner of the Water Lilies Basin - Claude Monet and La Neige in Argenteuil - Claude Monet. His reading favors details.
In Geneva, the encyclopedia of arts takes the form of a palace: each room connects local history to civilizations, techniques and major European trends.
