At the museum, visitors can look forward to the biggest showcase of regional archaeology anywhere in Switzerland.

A range of glorious items will be on display, including the cuirasses of Fillinges, the missorium of Valentinian and the Celtic statue of the Rues-Basses of Geneva, with many works brought together for the first time.
