The Musée d'ethnographie de Genève ("Ethnological Museum of the City of Geneva") is one of the most important ethnographic museums in Switzerland.
It was opened on 25 September 1901, at the initiative of Professeur Eugène Pittard (1867-1962) who also held the first Chair of Anthropology at the University of Geneva. The museum houses some 100,000 objects and documents from all continents of the world. Its activities are divided between two locations: the main building on Boulevard Carl Vogt 65-67 in the city centre and the annex in Conches.
