Guided Tours
A guided tour is a lively way to discover artistic questions and deepen your knowledge. With guides trained about all the current exhibitions, it is possible to adapt the commentary to specific demands, for all ages and levels of art knowledge.
Learning French
MAMCO and the Université Ouvrière of Geneva have been working together for several years so as to develop visit formats suited to French language learners. As well as being an immersion into contemporary art, the objective is to turn the museum into a tool for learning French and to welcome newcomers.
Young children
Spontaneous and curious, children are very receptive to contemporary art. We work hand in hand with specialized educators to plan children’s reception and encounter with works exhibited at MAMCO. We also offer visits of artistic awakening led by a childhood professional, on request, on Thursday and Friday morning.
Entry for Genevan child-care centers is free for their groups and accompanying adults. It is also free for State schools and public institutions of the City and Canton of Geneva.
MAMCO is a partner of the Maison de la Créativité
Visitors with disabilities
MAMCO’s Education Services offers guided tours for the mobility-challenged, those with behavioural or personality difficulties, or mental handicap. Our specialized guide is at your disposal, on prior request, for guided tours suited to the needs of each group and for all ages.
Uni3
What are artists doing today? MAMCO attempts to answer this question, since its opening, 24 years ago. Three times a year, it renews the displays of its rooms, and welcomes senior students from Uni3 to discover the new exhibitions.

School & Culture
As part of the School & Culture initative of the Public Department of Education (DIP), MAMCO offers, from one to three times a week, a variety of courses for the primary schools of the Canton of Geneva. Entire classes accompanied by their teachers come for an initiation to contemporary art and are welcomed by two specialized instructors. The same classes return several times so as to become familiar with the museum.
- Information and booking through the School and Culture initiative
“Besognes”
Les Besognes pour visiteurs were conceived by the comic-book artist Andréas Kündig. They are presented as a deck of cards which allow participants to discover the museum while asking far-fetched or cunning questions. Available at the museum’s reception.
