→Permanent exhibition
The new exhibition will explore humanitarian action by focusing on three periods in the history of the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement: Why and how was the Movement formed, and how has it changed since the 19th century? What does the Movement’s work look like today? What do the people of the Movement do, what challenges do they encounter and what realities do they face on the ground? What challenges lie ahead for humanitarian action?

TEMPORARY exhibition
Weaving together individual and collective memory, the exhibition delves deep into the relationship between textiles and humanitarian action. This exhibition will begin on 9 October 2025.

Building the past, the present and the future
We have decided to give our permanent exhibition a new look. The current exhibition will stay open as we phase in these changes – which emphasize inclusion, reuse and other sustainability principles – between 2026 and 2028. We’re keeping the Museum open during this time because we want to remain a welcoming space for everyone to connect and reflect. We also want to let you know about the decisions that go into redesigning an exhibition and the processes involved.

The Museum also hosts an artist residency, providing a platform for experimentation, dialogue and the production of new works, built with the public.

The International Red Cross and Red Crescent Museum asks a central question: how does humanitarian action affect us all, here and now?
