Maison Tavel / Musée d'art et d'histoire

A listed historic building located in the heart of the Old Town, Maison Tavel is the oldest preserved private residence in Geneva and a unique example of medieval civil architecture. Converted into a museum in 1986, its six floors offer visitors the opportunity to discover the urban evolution of the city, as well as different aspects of the past lives of its inhabitants. It houses the Relief Magnin, a large model of the city, a spectacular reconstruction of Geneva before the demolition of its fortifications in 1850. Maison Tavel is part of the Museum of Art and History.
