Intro
Housed in a sumptuous palatial architecture built in the late 19th century.
Housed in a sumptuous palatial building constructed at the end of the 19th century on the initiative of the collector and patron Gustave Revilliod (1817-1890), the Ariana Museum is today the only museum in Switzerland entirely devoted to ceramics and glass, and one of the most important in Europe in its field. With more than 25,000 objects, its collections document seven centuries of ceramic and glass creation in Switzerland and around the world. The permanent rooms and temporary exhibitions illustrate the history of the arts of fire from the Middle Ages to contemporary creation. The presentation favors an aesthetic and didactic approach to the objects, illuminating the technical, historical and artistic contexts of their creation. Particular emphasis is placed on the constant interaction that links the history of Western ceramics with the Near and Far East.
