Why go
This record is the museum at Rue Charles-Galland, not the other sites run under the same institution's name. The City of Geneva's page says the museum holds some 650,000 objects, shows part of its collections of applied arts, fine arts and archaeology over five floors and presents about ten temporary exhibitions a year. It dates the building to 1910, names its architect as Marc Camoletti, and links to an architectural project for the museum's future.
