The Reformation Museum in Geneva is always worth a visit. This was not my first time here, I had also come before the renovation. Back then, the museum felt very authentic, almost like a time machine that transported you directly into the past. With the renovation, the space has become more modern, refined, and in line with current trends. It’s beautifully presented and easier to navigate, though it perhaps misses a little of that raw historical charm that gave the old version such a unique atmosphere. One important point to highlight: this museum is dedicated to the history of the Protestant Reformation in Europe. It has nothing to do with figures like Barack Obama or Martin Luther King Jr. it is about Martin Luther, the 16th-century reformer, and the major changes he and others brought to religion and society. Still, the visit is extremely enriching, with engaging exhibitions, well curated displays, and interactive elements that make the story of the Reformation both accessible and inspiring. A special mention must go to the lady with the long, beautiful grey hair at the reception. She was exceptionally polite, welcoming, and very helpful. She answered our questions with patience and kindness, and her warm hospitality added something truly memorable to our visit. Overall, the museum remains a cultural highlight in Geneva a place that combines history, reflection, and genuine human connection.

Pequeño museo dividido en dos plantas y 9 salas con una interesante muestra. Aunque parece pequeño, la audioguía cuenta cada detalle de las diferentes vitrinas. ¡No perderse el vídeo de la entrada!
