Musée d'Art et d'Histoire

You are now on the edge of the Vieille Ville. On one flank of Parc des Bastions, the impressive 298-foot-long Monument International de la Reformation (International Monument of the Reformation) lines the city ramparts. Beyond the park, the Musée d’Art et d’Histoire (Museum of Art History) counts among Geneva’s most prominent museums. It contains everything from ancient Greek statues and medieval stained glass to canvasses by Rembrandt and Monet. Geneva’s long and eventful history is reflected in the museums and monuments of the Vieille Ville. No visit is complete without exploring the narrow streets and fountain-filled squares of this picturesque district, with its tempting specialist boutiques and its array of cozy cafés, bars, and restaurants.
