Review:

Maison Tavel forms part of the famous Museum of Art and History Geneva, and is home to a permanent exhibition of Everyday Life and Urban History. The building is well worth a visit in its own right and architecture enthusiasts can look forward to admiring an exceptional example of medieval architecture, dating back to the early 14th century, in the heart of Geneva’s Old Town. The original building was destroyed by fire in 1334, and excavations of the original cellars and cistern continue to turn up surprising finds. The Museum’s permanent collections are showcased in exhibition areas which were reconstructed in the 18th century, tracing the history of Geneva and her inhabitants.
