Musée Ariana

The Musée Ariana in Geneva is the only museum in Switzerland devoted exclusively to ceramics and glass art. Housed in a neoclassical and neo-Baroque building on the Avenue de la Paix, near the Palais des Nations, it displays around 20,000 objects spanning seven centuries. The collection, which grew out of the private holdings of the patron Gustave Revilliod, traces the historical, geographic, and technical development of glass and ceramic production from around 1300 to the present day. One of the most important institutions of its kind in Europe, the museum gives you a comprehensive look at the artistic and craft traditions behind these materials.
