Exhibition from July 10 to September 15

Lausanne, Evian, Montreux, Nyon and above all Geneva have played and continue to play a leading role in world diplomacy. These cities have hosted countless summits, treaties and international institutions.

Among the reasons for the region’s diplomatic success are Switzerland’s neutrality and political stability, its geographical centrality, its transport infrastructure, as well as its history of tourism, its humanitarian tradition and Lake Geneva.

Indeed, the lake has played an important role in the diplomatic events that have taken place on its shores: a soothing landscape conducive to negotiations, a barrier to ensure security, an ideal recreational area for diplomats seeking to clear their heads between sessions, and an advantage for transport (by boat as well as seaplane).

In this exhibition, we only touch on a handful of the diplomatic events that took place on the shores of Lake Geneva. While some have left their mark on history, many have been nothing more than vain, hopeful attempts, with no solution or resolution.
