Reformed museum for the ‘Protestant Rome’ Geneva's International Museum of the Reformation
Geneva is known around the world as the birthplace of the Calvinist Reformation, and now the Swiss city that is sometimes called the Protestant Rome has the International Museum of the Reformation for pilgrims and tourists.
The city on the banks of Lake Geneva heretofore had no institution to commemorate a period that altered the course of history in Europe and farther afield.
“The museum is a place for history, but above all history that is alive,” says the museum’s director, Isabelle Graesslé, an ordained minister.
