A MUSEUM IN GENEVA THAT IS UNIQUE WORLDWIDE

Originating in Geneva in the 16th century, the Reformation was a religious revolution that changed the relationship to organised beliefs by handing over responsibility to the individual.

The International Museum of the Reformation is the only secular institution devoted to this part of history. Paintings, objects, books, engravings and audiovisual devices are combined in 12 rooms in a new scenography rich in colour and accessible in nine languages.

Among the 350 testimonies to be discovered is a painting of Martin Luther by Lukas Cranach, a letter from John Calvin, a personal note by Dietrich Bonhoeffer, a watch made by Jean-Jacques Rousseau's grandfather, the voice of Martin Luther-King, 11 pieces of music inspired by Protestantism, plus many more fascinating items. It is a unique museum experience to be discovered in an 18th century mansion in the heart of Geneva's Old Town, from 27 April 2023. www.musee-reforme.ch/en

Also not to be missed, from 27 April to 27 August 2023, is Deflagrations, an exhibition of 140 drawings of children in war, covering a century of conflicts, including the current crisis in Ukraine.
