The Musée d'ethnographie in Geneva, known as the MEG for short, attracts art lovers, but also photographers and tourists from all over the world. Soaring skyward and tapering dramatically, the geometric design with projecting metal roof gives the MEG building its own special charm and uniqueness. The bronze anodised surface protects the façade elements against corrosion, and the aluminium's metal structure is also preserved.
