International Red Cross and Red Crescent Museum in Geneva - Musée International de la Croix-Rouge et du Croissant-Rouge

Permanent exhibition

Humanitarian action, here and now

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?

Building the past, the present and the future

Vision 2028

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.
