The latest of Switzerland's great museums, the MEG houses one of the finest collections of ethnography in Switzerland. In its new setting, it is the promise of another cultural scene in Geneva: concerts, film cycles, shows, workshops, meetings, conferences, guided tours... You'll discover temporary exhibitions highlighting MEG's hidden treasures in magnificent immersive scenographies, and a permanent exhibition, "The Archives of Human Diversity". The latter showcases more than a thousand remarkable objects spanning several centuries of history and a hundred civilizations represented by more than a thousand remarkable objects. And beneath the majestic nave nestles the Marie Madeleine Lancoux Library, with its ever-growing collection of over 45,000 books and audiovisual documents dedicated to the cultures of five continents.
