Traveler reviews
Dyvie Ravoa
★★★★★9 months agoI did not plan to visit the museum but ended up loving it. Being a member of a reformed Christian church myself, helped know more about my religion. The museum goes from the beginnings of reformation to nowadays, with lots of fun facts and inspiring quotes. Absolutely recommend to all protestants visiting Geneva.
Mohammed Asadi
★★★★★2 years agoSmall but very informative and well designed museum. It provide detailed explanations of reformation in easy and simple approach. They have rare selection of objects. The multimedia and movies mixed with nice art is definitely amazing. You need around 1 to 1.5 hour to finish it fully. When I was there they had two exhibitions. It costs 15 francs to visit.
