Located in the heart of the Old Town, Maison Tavel is the oldest preserved private residence in Geneva.
It was converted into a museum in 1986, and charts Geneva’s urban history and daily life from the Middle Ages to the 19th century. A standout feature is the Relief Magnin, the largest model of the city before the demolition of its fortifications in 1850. The museum presents a rich combination of engravings, models, furniture, and archival documents across six immersive floors.
