International Museum of the Reformation, Religious museum in Genève-Cité, Switzerland.
The International Museum of the Reformation occupies an 18th-century building and displays objects from the period of religious renewal. The rooms hold manuscripts, images, books, and items that record the religious movement.
The building stands at the exact spot where Geneva citizens voted for the Reformation in 1536. This decision transformed the city and made it a major center of religious renewal.
The place carries the names and stories of reformers like Calvin, whose influence shaped the city itself. Visitors can see throughout how religious thought formed daily life and Geneva's craft traditions.
Visitors can navigate easily since the rooms are clearly laid out and guide you through different subjects. Information is available in multiple languages so everyone can understand the content.
The museum holds a collection of watches showing how religious values influenced Geneva's famous watchmaking craft. This link between faith and handiwork is surprising and often overlooked.
