Visit
Immerse yourself in a unique 360° visual experience with impressive painting, sound and three-dimensional staging!
The 110 x 12 metre painting was created in 1881 by Geneva painter and Red Cross volunteer Edouard Castres with the support of other artists, including the young Ferdinand Hodler. The immense circular painting depicts the internment of 87,000 French soldiers who found refuge in Switzerland at the end of the Franco-Prussian War in the winter of 1871. The helpfulness of the civilian population, the Red Cross and the army make this cultural monument a moving testimony to humanity, solidarity and commitment to peace.
Captivated by the analogue illusion medium, visitors forget space and time and experience history in a whole new way. Visit this masterpiece of painting, architecture and storytelling and discover its message of peace, which could not be more relevant today.

Accessibility for All Visitors
The Bourbaki Panorama is generally accessible to visitors with reduced mobility. However, due to the historic structure of the building, there is no passenger lift directly to the panorama. For visitors who are unable, or find it difficult, to use stairs, a stair lift is available, operated and accompanied by museum staff. The transport covers two floors, so please allow a little extra time. For detailed information, see the Ginto app OK:GO.
The museum is committed to making the Bourbaki Panorama experience as accessible as possible to all people in the future. We are working on this in line with our resources. The team welcomes any input on how to achieve this. We look forward to your visit.
