WW: Musée d'ethnographie de Genève

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.

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.

Meanwhile, let's join our (almost) Wordless Wednesday and have fun with the links!

Indonesia, A True Partner for Democracy, Development, and Social Justice - Photo Exhibition

Indonesia is once again seeking for one of the seats of the United Nations Human Rights Council for the years 2020 - 2022.

Being a democratic country with the  biggest Moslem population in the world, Indonesia has a lot to share and to learn from one another in terms of promotion and protection of human rights. 

As one of the founding members of the United Nations Human Rights Council, Indonesia continues working on upholding the UNGA resolution 60/251 as the basis of the Council’s work, that human rights are universal, indivisible, interrelated and interdependent. Of course is not always that easy as no country in the world has perfect human rights records. Indonesia is no exception. Even those claiming themselves as 'human rights champion' do have issues here and there. But the most important part is we continue to take tireless efforts to address 

As part of our campaign for this, we held a photo exhibition titled Indonesia, A True Partner for Democracy, Development, and Social Justice. It was held in Pasarelle Bridge, Palais des Nations, Geneva from June 25 - July 5, 2019

Indonesia is indeed committed to play a more active role in global human rights deliberation through constructive engagement, dialogue, and cooperation. It is not always that easy to do so but we stand ready enhance our works in the field of human rights with other stakeholders.

To further promote international collaboration to ensure that UN Human Rights mechanisms will contribute towards global stability, peaceful and friendly relations between nations, as well as creating an enabling environment for peace, security, and socio-economic development.

At the opening of Indonesia’s photo exhibition, we had our Deputy Minister for Public Diplomacy to share with you our journey in strengthening our democracy, enhancing our development and ensuring social justice for all.

Here are some photos we have for the exhibition.

I was trusted to help the preparation of the photo exhibition as well the conduct of the exp itself at UN Headquarters in Geneva, Palais des Nations. It was quite a long journey to get the photos that properly and artistically reflect the messages we have here. Most of the photos were bought from Antara, our press bureau, and some are from the Minsitry's documents.

It was really a previlidge to be here and for me, it is also part of the celebration of our partnership with the UN and other member states in promotion and protection of human rights across the globe.

Our Deputy Minister opened the exhibition officially

As people walk through the Pasarelle bridge, we hope that the exhibition will deliver our message that Indonesia stands ready to work with you, as a true partner for Democracy, Development, and Social Justice.

Cheers from the complete team! Jakarta and Geneve..

Wish us luck!

Indonesia, a True Partner for Democracy, Development and Social Justice.

Wonderful Wednesday with My Purple World, Oh My Heartsie Girls and Friends

Cheers from Geneva!

I am spending around a week in Geneva for Human Rights Council and flying through Istanbul again. As you can see on my previous post about the Blue Mosque, I got a chance to have a lovely transit in Istanbul. This time, we flew to the new Istanbul airport which is way bigger and much posher than the Ataturk one. And the weather is nice! Or rather hot indeed, reaching 35 degree C or around 90 degree Fahrenheit.

Geneva is enjoying its summer as well, with warm days coming this week and ahead.
Too bad, I am a bit under the weather. I guess all those travelings take a toll on me and I started feeling super tired. I have to admit that after my trip to New York City during Ramadhan followed by Lebaran Break and Surabaya, I only had a couple days or mostly a week before another trip. Well, I have to take a break a little bit I guess.

clear, hot day.

But for sure, my days in Geneva are always marvellous.
Feels like coming back to home again, meeting my dearest friends and family here.
But I guess, I will just meet them all here as we don't really have many breaks in this non-stop series of meetings. 
Wish me luck and stay healthy, people!
