Barbier-Mueller Museum, Ethnographic museum in Old Town Geneva, Switzerland.
The Barbier-Mueller Museum exhibits over 7,000 artifacts, including sculptures, fabrics, and ornaments from tribal and classical antiquity across multiple continents.
The collection originated in 1907 when Josef Müller began acquiring pieces, leading to the museum's establishment in 1977 at rue Jean-Calvin in Geneva.
The institution maintains a collection of pre-Columbian art featuring objects from Aztec, Maya, and Inca civilizations that demonstrate ancient crafting techniques.
The museum opens daily from 11:00 AM to 5:00 PM, with adult admission at 8 CHF and reduced prices of 5 CHF for children and AVS members.
