As the second largest city in Switzerland, and the largest of the French speaking side, Geneva is an excellent place to visit. It has a long and interesting history of being one of the most important cities in world affairs. Not only is the city home to many departments of the European Union, but also the International Red Cross. Geneva has a long and deep background in international culture and art, as well, with several museums and galleries that are excellent ways to spend an afternoon. An extremely accessible city, when you land in Geneva, airport taxi transfers are right on hand. While you are there, be sure to visit the Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art, the Musée Ariana, and the Art and History Museum.
Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art - Located at Rue Des Vieux-Grenadiers 10, the Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art (MAMCO) was opened in 1994 in a former factory building. The MAMCO has a range of art from the mid 1960s onwards and includes paintings, photography and sculpture, and special exhibitions, among others. It is one of the most well known museums in the city and is worth taking the time to visit. A short ride from Geneva airport, taxi drivers can easily take you right from the terminal to the MAMCO if you are pushed for time and want to see one of the special exhibits.
The Musée Ariana - Located on the grounds adjoining the United Nations, at Ave de la Paix 10, within easy driving distance for a Geneva airport taxi driver, is the Musée Ariana. Also known as the Swiss Museum of Ceramics and Glass, it was built in a neo-Baroque style between the years of 1877 and 1884 to house the private collections of Swiss collector Gustave Revilliod, and was named after his mother, Ariane de la Rive. The museum contains over 20,000 works of ceramics and glass that date back to the 1300s and is the only museum of its kind in Switzerland.
The Art and History Museum - If you are ready to get your exploration going, when you land at Geneva airport taxi drivers will be happy to take you to your hotel and wait to then drop you off for a look around the Art and History Museum, located at Rue Ch.-Galland 2. As the largest in the city, you need to give yourself plenty of time to take in the collections of this 'encyclopaedic museum.' Built between 1903 and 1910, it has three sections that represent a collection that covers the whole of Western culture - from its ancient history to its present days. It is broken into three sections: Archaeology, Fine Arts (including works by Houdon and Rodin), and Applied Arts, which showcases objects from the Middle Ages through to the 20th century.
