Discover everyday Geneva at Maison Tavel
Old Town, Switzerland
Maison Tavel brings Geneva’s past down to the scale of streets, homes and everyday objects. Within the city’s oldest surviving private residence, maps, models, furniture and images trace urban life from the medieval period into the nineteenth century. The large model of Geneva before the removal of its fortifications is especially revealing. Visit after walking the Old Town, when the relationship between the galleries and the streets outside becomes easier to recognise.
