Fodor's Expert Review Musée d'Art et d'Histoire

The Museum of Art and History, one of the largest museums in Switzerland, brings together archaeological, applied art and fine art collections. The 15th-century Miracle of the Fishes, in which Jesus paces the waters of Lac Léman, keeps things focused locally at this museum built in 1910. The collection includes Switzerland's largest concentration of Egyptian art, Escalade-era weapons, Alpine landscapes from both ends of the 19th century, and substantial modern art. There is often a fee for temporary exhibits.
