Switzerland, Geneva

The United Nations Office at Geneva is very pleased to co-organize this exhibition, along with so many Permanent Missions, D10 Art Space and the LIAN Foundation. This event is conceived as a moment of serenity to lighten up these difficult times during the COVD-19 pandemic.

It is a unique exhibition because for the first time, part of the collection of the Palais des Nations—home to the League of Nations since 1936 and to the United Nations Office at Geneva since 1946—will be on public display at a venue outside of the Palais des Nations.

It is also a unique moment as we celebrate both the 75th anniversary of the United Nations and 100 years of multilateralism in Geneva since the establishment of the League of Nations. Both occasions remind us of the importance of international cooperation and dialogue among nations.

This exhibition is also an opportunity to say thank you to our host country, Switzerland, to the Republic and Canton of Geneva and to the City of Geneva, for their dedication to multilateralism.
