Musée d'art et d'histoire - Museum of Art and History, Genève, Canton de Genève, Confédération Suisse.

   Built between 1903 and 1910 by Genevan architect Marc Camoletti to house a number of dispersed public collections under a single roof, the Museum of Art and History is one of Switzerland's most important encyclopedic museums. The museum houses over half a million objects, including a number of major works and unique series, which have made it an institution of international significance. Its permanent collections showcase applied arts, fine arts, and archaeology. Regional archaeological discoveries, Egyptian and classical antiquities, works of art, furniture, weapons, musical instruments, paintings, and sculptures bear witness to 15,000 years of history.
