International Museum of the Reformation

Housed in one of the most elegant town houses in the old town, next to the Cathedral, the Musée International de la Réforme presents a history of the Protestant Reformation in nine rooms. From the 16th century to the present day, paintings, manuscripts, books, prints, objects, music and films paint a portrait of an influential movement in Geneva, Switzerland and beyond. From Calvin to Martin Luther King, from Marie Dentière to Aretha Franklin, from Luther’s 95 theses to Dietrich Bonhoeffer’s handwritten letters, with Lukas Cranach, Jean Etienne Liotard or Ferdinand Hodler, the permanent exhibition offers chronological and thematic approaches. A ten-language tour guide can be activated via smartphone. Fifteen major works are brought to life in augmented reality. Two temporary exhibitions are held each year.
