博物馆 The Maison Tavel

The Maison Tavel (Tavel house) is the oldest private residence in Geneva. This remarkable example of swiss civil architecture bears the name of the family who owned it from the late 13th to the early 16th century.

Since 1986, this historical building has been home to the Musée d’histoire urbaine et de la vie quotidienne (museum of urban history and daily life). The engravings, paintings, maps, models, furniture and miscellaneous objects presented come from Geneva’s public collections and evoke Geneva’s
past and its inhabitants from the middle ages through to the 19th century
