FRED BOISSONNAS AND THE MEDITERRANEAN – A PHOTOGRAPHIC ODYSSEY @ Musée Rath
Apr 26 @ 11:00 am – Jul 26 @ 6:00 pm
FRED BOISSONNAS AND THE MEDITERRANEAN - A PHOTOGRAPHIC ODYSSEY @ Musée Rath

The exhibition is dedicated to the works of the most prolific member of the “Boissonnas dynasty”, Fred Boissonnas (1858 – 1946). It sheds light on a whole aspect of his career that is both underappreciated and crucial: his journeys on the Mediterranean Sea, which he spent the first three decades of the 20th century roaming in search of light, of the Great Greece and free Egypt, of Homeric settings and Biblical landscapes.

Most of his photographs, presented here for the first time, are part of bequeathed collections now owned by the Bibliothèque de Genève. Both poetic and mesmerising, this exhibition also attempts to provide insight into the ambivalent and passionate relationship between Europe and the Mediterranean.

HARMONY GENEVA MARATHON 2020 @ Lake Geneva

Arguably one of the most picturesque city marathons in Europe!  Register Now!

The 16th edition of the Harmony Geneva Marathon for Unicef takes place on 9th & 10th May 2020.  In 2019, more than 138 global destinations signed up for one of the eight events and discovered the course in the countryside nestled between mountains and the shore of Lake Geneva before finishing in the heart of the city in front of the famous Jet d’Eau.

With eight races on the programme and distances ranging from 1km to a full marathon, you will find a distance that suits you to be part of this festival of running.

The Marathon, Marathon Relay, Half-Marathon and Wheelchair race will be held on Sunday 10th May. Runners will stream through the countryside, following a route renowned for its beauty, nestled between the shores of lake Geneva and snow-capped peaks of the Alps and Jura mountains. The closing stretch takes participants through the heart of Geneva before crossing the finish line on the Pont du Mont-Blanc, with a stunning view of the famous Jet d’Eau in the distance.

On Saturday 9th May, a number of other race formats will be available for both juniors and adults. These include the 10km open to runners and walkers, La Genevoise #LikeAGirl by Always 6km race for women and the Junior Races.
