The humanitarian adventure

Geneva, cradle of the Red Cross, runs the only museum which is dedicated the work of Henry Dunant.

Emotion, discovery, reflection: the permanent exhibition of the Museum offers a unique experience of the initiation of humanitarian efforts. The new scenography with the title "The humanitarian adventure" is divided into three separate areas, each developed by well-known exhibition architects with different cultural backgrounds: defending human dignity, restoring family links and reducing natural risks.

An interactive visit to share and live with twelve witnesses of our time.
