The Cabinet d'Arts Graphiques was established in 1886 when city officials decided to consolidate all official engravings into one cohesive municipal collection. Located in the former Diodati-Plantamour residence, the collection has grown substantially since then; as one of the largest Swiss print collections exisiting (with approximately 350000 pieces), its pieces date from the 17th centure to today. The Cabinet also hosts temporary graphic exhibitions twice a year. An ideal stop for print and graphic arts lovers!
Port Noir is located to the north of Geneva, in the municipality of Cologny. It is situated at the spot where Quai Gustave-Ador ends to let Quai de Cologny begin its journey out of Geneva into the town of Cologny. Port Noir serves as an important point in Geneva's history, as this is from where the Swiss armies of Fribourg and Soleure stepped into the city in 1814, and a year later it was amalgamated into the Swiss Confederation, on May 19, 1815. Sculptor Henry Koenig's beautiful creation, La Brise, is located here.
