Located in a building erected in the early 20th century, the Patek Philippe Museum exhibits important collections of horology and enamelling of Genevese, Swiss and European origin, dating from the 16th to the 20th century.

A library entirely dedicated to horology and its related subjects documents these historic collections which are essentially composed of watches, musical automata and portrait miniatures painted on enamel as well as the Genevabased firm’s prestigious creations since its foundation in 1839.

This area of 28 hectares, situated since 1904 on the edge of Geneva, is an ideal setting for either a simple stroll or for learning.

The Botanical Gardens consist of a collection of 16,000 plant species from all over the world. This truly living museum is divided into several sections: an arboretum, the rock garden and banks of protected plants, medicinal and useful plants, greenhouses, horticultural plants (including a "garden of scent and touch"), an animal park devoted to conservation and "Botanicum" (a family space) near the lake.

Erected between 1903 and 1910 and designed as an encyclopedic museum, it covers the whole of western culture, from its origins to the present days.

Its three sectors comprise Archaeology (prehistoric,
Egyptian, Greek, Etruscan, Roman); Fine Arts (some 400 paintings from the Renaissance to modern times, and sculptures by artists such as Houdon, Pradier, Rodin, Arp, Giacometti, Tinguely, etc.); Applied Arts (objects from the Middle Ages to the 20th century, such as furniture, textiles, pewterware, arms and armor).
