La migration des animaux du Muséum

In 1965, the streets of Geneva were the scene of a curious spectacle: bears, rhinoceroses and thousands of other representatives of animal species were transported on vans as the collections of the Museum of Natural History were moved. The museum had been housed at the Bastions since 1872, and moved to Malagnou. The Bibliothèque de Genève, whose spaces have retained their 19th-century charm, offers an immersion into the Museum's former home. A photographic installation retraces the transfer of certain specimens.

Exhibition organized by the Bibliothèque de Genève and the Muséum d’histoire naturelle de Genève
