Housed in a sixteenth-century building at the heart of Geneva’s Old Town, the Musee Barbier Muller defines itself as a “Museum of the Arts of World Cultures”. The museum, founded in 1907 by Josef Mueller, today boasts several thousand pieces, including tribal and classical antiquities, sculptures, fabrics, and ornaments from diverse world cultures. It presents two thematic exhibitions each year, showcasing selected objects from its extensive collection.
The Barbier-Mueller Museum presents “Échos,” an exhibition where photographer Jean-Baptiste Huynh explores the museum’s works through his artistic lens. This sensitive and aesthetic approach encourages reflection on universal themes such as birth, life, aging, and death.
The Barbier-Mueller Museum is hosting a children’s treasure hunt titled “Explore the World.” This two-part workshop invites young participants to uncover the origins of artworks and pinpoint their locations on a map, followed by solving puzzles to locate hidden pieces within the museum.
In French. Ages 7 to 12.
