Product list - International Red Cross and Red Crescent Museum

The purchase of one or more suspended tickets makes it possible to promote access to culture through a civic act, from person to person.

Suspended tickets will be collected and given to the Geneva Red Cross and other local partners active in the social field, who will redistribute them to their beneficiaries.

But what is a Solidarity Sunday?

It's very simple: every first Sunday of the month, take advantage of reduced admission prices, with tickets priced at 10.00 CHF instead of 15.00 CHF. It's also an opportunity to do a good deed, as the purchase of a ticket equals a ticket that will be donated to the Geneva Red Cross and other local partners. These tickets will then be distributed to the beneficiaries of these organizations.

By taking part in Dimanche Solidaire, you're promoting access to culture through a civic gesture, from person to person.

How does humanitarian action concern us all in our everyday lives ?

The permanent exhibition ticket also give access to the temporary exhibition.

Which voices do we keep, and why? Who speaks, who has the right to be heard? What role does music play in humanitarian action? What kinds of emotional bonds can be carried by the voice? What is the relationship between the act of hearing and the act of being heard? How can we hear a voice that produces no sound?

Tuning in – Acoustique de l’émotion is an innovative new exhibition that explores the links between voices, heritage and humanitarian action, drawing on the audio archives and collections of the International Committee of the Red Cross, the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies, and the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Museum. Contemporary recordings, posters, photographs and prisoners’ objects feature alongside historical artworks and new productions by Manal AlDowayan, Betty Danon, Marco Donnarumma, Gregor Hildebrandt, William Kentridge, Christine Sun Kim and Thomas Mader, Piero Mottola, Julia Scher, and Dana Whabira.

The exhibition is curated by Elisa Rusca.

Audio guides for children aged 8–12 and for teenagers are available only in French
