Was very lucky to come during their Tonutopie art installation, which transformed the museum's central courtyard into this circus tent-style psychedelic inflatable production. Insanely cool. Pay-as-much-as-you-want is funny because this museum can effectively be free if you want it to be, so I feel a bit guilty to have received so much volume of information and culture without having paid anything substantial. Remarkable space as well and merits a visit on the basis of architecture alone. I was amazed that this didn't come up *once* when I looked into things to do in Geneva. IMO, this should certainly be on the list.

Great Museum!!! They don't charge for a ticket to enter but it is "suggested" that you make a…read moredonation upon entry. I arrived late in the afternoon so I felt a bit rushed to see and spend time on everything before they closed. I would say give yourself a minimum of two hours to see it all.

The Nyon Castle houses a historic and porcelain museum. If you are visiting Nyon, it is a great…read moredeal to tour the museums in town. At the time I went, for the price of one, you get to enter into all 3, up to one year. I had NEVER heard of that. Catch is that you have to keep your paper receipt. Definitely not easy to keep track off! Also, the first Sunday's of each month are free. I hadn't planned to visit the Nyon castle, as I had already toured some pretty amazing Swiss castles, and porcelain, is definitely not my cup of tea (no pun intended). Lets say, I quickly walked through the plates and dishes, and entered the historic floor. Wow, I was definitely caught off guard. I was not expecting the unique history that awaited me. Nyon bought the building in 1804,and the communal Council and the courts met there until 1999. The castle also was used as a prison until 1979!! That was fascinating. You could still see a wing of the prison, with the rooms maintained. You could see and read all the inscriptions the prisoners had written into the walls. Very cool!!!! After touring the Castle, if the cellar is open, definitely stop by for a taste of wine. They offer a great selection of local wines to choose from. I forgot to mention that there is a great view overlooking Nyon and the lake from the backside of the Nyon castle. Definitely check it out. You don't have to pay to walk through the castle to the back side to see the incredible view.

People work here and some meetings are off-limits so the admittedly short tour isn't super involved and won't take you to too many places, but it is worth a visit. I really just wanted to write this review because our tour guide looked exactly like a slightly German John Oliver. He was an odd mix of enthused and monotone but he was informative enough and he spoke fluently - in multiple languages. We spent at least 30 minutes in one room overlooking one of the central, cylindrical meeting rooms before moving on to the next one. He gave us a brief overview of the UN mission and took us to see a real conference, albeit with no audio or context. From this, we were whisked to the old, original building where the previous League of Nations was established. After seeing the original architecture and the original, refurbished meeting room, the tour ends and you are escorted back to the main lobby. No wandering solo or away from your group or a security guard will pick you up and kick you out, supposedly.

The tour guide was fluent in several languages and obviously knew A LOT about the organization. She was thrown several questions and always answered flawlessly. Great price for this guided tour of 15 CHF (discounts available) but be sure to bring your passport to enter (they might accept other documents, but passports were the only ones I saw used). This is a can't miss in Geneva!

I have admired Patak Philippe watches in all the fashion magazines for many decades. So this was a huge event for me to be able to come to their museum. The museum is just like their shops, beautiful and elegant, super clean with white gloves. The museum has three levels and you can get an audio guide on the first floor. There's also periodic watch making demos you can join to watch a real live factory technician talk about watchmaking by hand. The amount of gorgeous watches from historical times to now, contains many priceless masterpieces. I especially love the ones with the music box and trinkets that moves. It is absolutely fascinating amazing to see. One of the coolest museums I've ever been in the world. Absolutely recommend!

Great museum with hundreds of horological items that can easily constitute a 2+ hour visit. For the…read moreprice, it is a must-see for any collector. Do note that the vast majority of exhibition text is in French and that the English text is scant (only for major exhibits and introductions to new periods or significant historical events). We did not use audio guides or join an official group tour. Though the exhibits progress from the 1600s to the early 2000s and are genuinely COOL, there is a lack of cohesion or progression and on top of that you're making awkward, jagged turns to follow the ascending numerical order of the exhibits. The space feels completely maxed out. The vast majority of visitors seem to have a truly difficult time following any preset order after turning the first corner of the two most dense floors. Though anyone could enjoy a short visit, it is disappointing that some of the absolute basics of watches that the average person would want to know about (how does a manual wind actually work, what is an automatic movement, what is meant by "complication," what is quartz, tell us more about the pocket watch to wristwatch thing, why are holy trinity watches so expensive, etc) are simply not addressed. The production quality of the video that is screened in the auditorium is DECENT but it ends abruptly almost as if the bureaucrat in charge of its funding just stepped in one day and said to the producer "okay--done!" Compared to the rest of the media put out by Patek, it's not a good reflection of the brand.
