Konrad Witz and Geneva

Until February 23 you can visit at Geneva's Art and History Museum the exhibition of two panels painted in 1444 by Konrad Witz for Saint-Pierre's Cathedral. These panels are part of the most emblematic works in Western art and have just been recently restored.

The exhibition is divided in two parts. The first is focused on the history of these panels, since their creation until now. The second part studies Geneva's and the Duchy of Savoy's artistic context during the first half of the 15th century, with paintings, sculptures, stained glass and ornamentation.

The entrance is free!

Olympic Museum at Lausanne

For the past couple of years, if you wanted to visit the Olympic Museum at Lausanne you had to hop on a super cool boat and see a small exhibition for free. Which wasn't that bad…! Now finally the renovated museum opens its doors for free until January 23. Hurry up and visit it while you don't have to pay!!!
