About
. A programme of thematic exhibitions is presented every year : paintings, sculptures, photographs, etc. In just a few years, the Palais Lumière has become one of the main cultural and artistic centres of the lake Geneva basin.
Inaugurated in August 1902, the institute of hydrotherapy is considered to be the best of its kind. Open from 15 May to 15 October, it administers 1,200 treatments a day: baths, showers, massages, and electrical and mechanical treatments. Architect Ernest Brunnarius designed an impressive building: 68 m long and 25 m high, topped with a 30-m dome on a square base. Along the partially tiled façade, the ramps lead to a monumental entrance framed by bell towers. Under the porch, two paintings by Jean Benderly depict water. Listed as a historical monument, the building was extensively renovated from 2004 to 2006. Renamed the "Palais Lumière", it now holds a multi-media library, exhibition rooms and a convention centre.
On the programme from 27 February to 30 May 2021:
The exhibition "The Fertile Mountain : the Giacometti, Segantini, Amiet, Hodler, and their legacy".
The territory of Graubünden, a Swiss canton located in the middle of the Alps, has long been a land of welcome and inspiration for many artists.
The exhibition retraces the fruitful reconstruction of these landscapes at the dawn of the 20th century through the eyes of a core group of artists and focuses in particular on the central and unifying figure of Giovanni Giacometti.
