Initiated over 40 years ago, the archaeology collection of the Fondation Gandur pour l'Art boasts over 1,200 objects from the Mediterranean basin. Visitors are welcomed into a celestial world populated by Egyptian, Greek, Etruscan, Roman and Oriental gods and goddesses. Indeed, ancient religion is the common thread running through this collection.

Divine statues, ex-votos, amulets in shimmering colors, ritual utensils or those intended to ensure the deceased a pleasant life for eternity, all reflect the pantheons and beliefs of the Mediterranean basin between the 5th millennium BC and the end of the Roman Empire.

This collection is one of four assembled by the Fondation Gandur pour l'Art. Founded in 2010 in Geneva, its mission is to make its collections accessible to a broad public. It is dedicated to preserving, documenting, enriching and exhibiting them in renowned institutions in Switzerland and abroad.
