Loved the building of the museum itself. Loved the whole permanent exhibit. Through small objects and short films you really understand the genesis of the Red Cross and, specially, their very very important job. We were lucky, because we visited in March 2011 and the museum would close on June 2011, for settling a new exposition. I recomend this visit... More

As an American expat living in Geneva I have enjoyed this museum. It does require an interest in history and a willingness to read as you move about. If you are looking for a museum to just walk and see then not for you. CLOSED FOR RENOVATIONS UNTIL 2013!!!!!! More

I think this is a worthy musum which documents the history of a very worthy organisation.It is well designed and laid out, though not terribly interactive. Most of the information at the museum is communicated via long script panels, which I thought was fine but annoyed other members of my party. I think it is one of the better attractions... More
