I especially loved visiting the Musée d’art et d’histoire de Genève where I took some nice pictures (I must go back with my camera though, because my iPhone doesn't do them justice)…
However, it was a particularly lucky day to visit the museum since there were few people and most of the time it looked like I was the only visitor...
