Nestled in the Tranchées neighbourhood, just a stone's throw from the Russian Church, the Fondation Baur houses one of the most prestigious private collections of Far Eastern art in the world. The guided tour is a total immersion in absolute refinement: Chinese imperial ceramics, precious jades, Japanese prints and scholars' objects. The setting is just as exceptional as the works themselves: a former Genevan private mansion whose salons have been transformed into modern, understated display spaces. Accompanied by an expert guide, you will learn to decipher the symbols of the Ming and Qing dynasties or to understand the fascinating techniques of Japanese lacquerware.
