I was lucky to get a chance to Musée d'ethnographie de Genève during my last working visit to Geneve.
Early morning, before our flight in the afternoon, we took the bus to go to the Museums, aiming at Musée d'ethnographie de Genève (MEG) and Patek Phillipppe Museum. I came here with my colleague, Nenda, who never visited Geneva before. So, it was like a trip down memory lane for me while acting like a non-professional tour guide for her. Fun!

Welcome to the MEG |
First stop, we visited Musée d'ethnographie de Genève and we only enjoyed the permanent collection, the free showcase, due to our tight schedule.
The Archives of Human Diversity, that's the name of the permanent collection of MEG. I have to admit that the collections, although not that many in terms of numbers, are certainly the selected ones. Carefully curated to show various objects of reference, rich in history and artistic works, the permanent collection of MEG is too good to pass.
Here are some photos I took during our visit and you can see why we love it so much and highly recommend this place to those visiting Geneva.

the domestic Buddhist Altar from Kyoto, Japan |

The decorative eggs from Czech Republic |
 |
Chess set from bones
The dolls from ...hmm, I forgot |
 |
the Tantric dancing costume from Mongolia |

the close - up |

Totem from Papua, Indonesia |
Too bad we cannot take any pictures at Patek Phillipe Museum but we did enjoy our visit here as well.
Here's the map of the Museum.
I will get more details about the Museum soon okay.
The name really represents what inside the museum...ethnic ethnography, we can see touching of high art at each collection there
ReplyDeleteindeed mba..that's why I love it
DeleteWah ada patung dari Papua, ikut bangga :)
ReplyDeletebetul mba...di NYC juga ada lhooo
DeleteKemampuan saya dalam menilai karya seni agak minus nih mba, hhee... tapi tetep suka klo diajak jalan-jalan.
ReplyDeletekalau suka jalan dan sering liat lama - lama bisa aware mbaaa
DeleteSeni itu bahasa universal ya, makanya meski dibuat oleh seniman dari berbagai negara, ada sentuhan yg agak-agak mirip.
ReplyDeleteiya betul mba...tapi semua negara ada kekhasannya masing-masing
Deletewiihh kerenn banget mbakkk
ReplyDeleteaku paling suka yang the Tantric dancing costume from Mongolia

ReplyDeleteyou got it right
DeletePatung2nya sereeeemm :D

I think the dolls are from Ukraine, Mam. I'd ever seen it in one of my postcards. The clothes are so iconic from that place.
ReplyDeleteDesain luar museumnya bagus, ya. Kalau sekilas aja, nggak kebayang itu ternyata museum yang menyimpan sejarah. Unik dan berkesan modern.
ReplyDeletewhy u can't take any picture in there? Btw so lucky Nenda have partner can be profesional tour guide :)
ReplyDeleteWah patung eksotik dan ada mistis seperti patung irian jaya. Seram bagi mpo
ReplyDeleteLihat bangunan museum itu bikin takjub mbak, ternyata didalamnya ada patung-patung bersejarah dari Indonesia. Ikut bangga ternyata ada patung dari Papua yang sudah terkenal hingga ke luar negeri.
ReplyDeleteBoneka saja didesain artistik dan ada kesan megah sekaligus mistis.
ReplyDeleteLihat boneka tradisional khas negara lain bikin saya ingat masa kecil sering anyangan boneka kertas yang digunting. Beli di warung dengan harga 50 rupiah per lembar. Entah mengapa boneka kertas zaman dulu lebih bagus desainnya daripada zaman sekarang. Sayang tidak saya koleksi lagi.
Lihat boneka itu bikin saya teringat masa lalu.
Totem yang ada di museum bisa membantu kita untuk belajar memahami sejarah patung pemujaan atau benda berhala.
Mbak Indah beruntuk bisa mengunjungi museumnya, bisa berbagi foto cantik pula. :)
Really interesting.
ReplyDeleteWhat a cool museum! Amazing photos as always, Indah.
ReplyDeleteSetelah membaca tulisan ini langsung berdoa, semoga suatu saat nanti aku dan keluarga bisa mengunjugi musium ini juga.. aamiin
ReplyDeleteSudah pernah ke sini, kemudian ke sini lagi, rasanya tentu berbeda, tapi kuyakin tetap berkesan, ya, Mbak. Fotonya cantik-cantik, Mbak. Tapi, yang kayak kerbau pas di close up kok serem banget.

I cannot begin to thank you for sharing such beautiful pictures with us today! My favorites have to be the differently dressed dolls, but they're all so interesting. I cannot say the dolls are my favorite because they're all my favorite.. so colorful and beautiful. I spent a long time here today, so I think I better move on or soon it'll be time to make supper. ~hehehe~ Have a great day!
