On the first floor paintings, engravings and photographs depict the evolution of the city, and in the main hall woodwork, locksmithing and ironwork by Genevan craftsmen of the 17th and 18th centuries are exhibited.Admission is free to the permanent collection.

The ten sculpted heads displayed pay an artistic and historical tribute to Geneva and Switzerland.
