Subtlety, finesse and delicacy make up the jewellery presented in this gallery. Each exhibition is unique, imbued with a deep meaning resulting from the singular inspiration of the designer. Each designer tells his or her own story in these jewels. Several universes, innovations and especially exclusive pieces to satisfy you. Annick Zufferey is also a creative designer and her models are composed with a discreet fantasy. Pearls, precious and semi-precious stones come to awaken the finely worked metals.

Passionate about the Age of Enlightenment, collector Rosario Zoubov lived in the Hôtel Sellon, one of the most beautiful ^18th-century townhouses in the old town. In 1957, she bequeathed her collection to the State of Geneva, in memory of her tragically deceased daughter. The sumptuous salons were used for chancellery receptions. Alongside stamped furniture, there are Chinese and European objects and paintings from the ^17th, ^18th and ^19th centuries.

This foundation was created in 1998 by the city of Carouge from the bequest of Charlotte Bruckner who wished to contribute to the cultural development of the city. In order to promote the work of ceramics in the broadest sense, the city thus revives a historical activity: important ceramic factories were indeed located here from 1803 to 1933. The workshops can be made available to individuals or institutions. It is a lively place where artists and amateurs from all over the world can ask for residence to develop their art. A firing service is available in the kilns and courses in modeling, throwing or molding can be offered. The Bruckner Foundation organizes the Parcours Céramique Carougeois. This international ceramic biennial takes place every four years, the next one will probably take place in 2026. It encourages the public to discover contemporary ceramics in Carouge and in the canton. The Parcours Céramique Carougeois is a festival that allows the public to discover contemporary ceramics through exhibitions, conferences, guided tours, spectacular open-air firings, screenings and workshops for children. This place of creation leaves room for imagination and poetry. This Foundation places the city of Carouge as a recognized artistic center. A site that is more for the residents of Geneva and its region, but if you like ceramics..

Located on the Pont de la Machine, overlooking the Rhône as it joins Lake Geneva, the site reflects Geneva's early industrialization. It was one of the first structures built "on the water".

With her electric, colorful universe, somewhere between street art and pop art, this painter and sculptor from Savoie offers us a breath of fresh air through her works. Listed and referenced on the international art market (she's one of the top 10 contemporary artists today), she works in acrylic, the paint that enables her to construct her works: misshapen faces, joyful and metaphorical atmospheres. "Art is the most profitable and safest investment in the world, even before gold and real estate

Originally, this magnificent building served an industrial purpose as a hydroelectric plant. It was here that the power supply to the town's fountains, houses, factories and the curtain dam on the Pont de la Machine was regulated, and disused a century later. It was built in the middle of the Rhône between 1883 and 1892 by engineer and politician Théodore Turrettini. Listed as a historic monument, it hosts ballets, shows and concerts, and boasts excellent acoustics.

What is the impact of photography on society as a whole? The center focuses on documentary style and asks new questions about the role of the image and photography today. The exhibitions evoke really interesting, multicultural, cross-border themes. For example: how can the work of a photographer help scientific research on environmental protection? Global social themes also provide subjects.
