The Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art, abbreviated as “MAMCO”, is a contemporary art museum in Switzerland. The MAMCO has an exhibition area of 3,500 m2 and bases its work on a collection of 3000 works. Since its opening in 1994, the museum has presented exhibitions reflecting the diversity and dynamism of the Swiss and international art scene. Large retrospectives are regularly proposed, such as those devoted to Martin Kippenberger, Jim Shaw, Sylvie Fleury, John Armleder or William Leavitt. Three times a year, MAMCO renews its presentation and exhibitions. Dialogue hooking up collections and temporary proposals, it offers a journey that is more than the sum of its parts.

Opposed to any flourish, the kitchen is intended as praise of the subject and its material: it does not marry it, it sublimates it to reveal each of its taste nuances. A flexible cuisine, oriented towards the search for local excellence and a philosophy that makes Philippe Durandeau the first to make black cod (sablefish) shine on Geneva plates. Today, the latter shines as the signature of the Café de la Paix. In terms of decor, you could easily see Jean Gabin seated as the atmosphere breathes that of a Parisian neighborhood from the 60s. Flanked by two magnificent Art Deco chandeliers, the bistro radiates and mixes excellence in taste with popular elegance.

You will also discover many accessories for The Tea, including a multitude of teapots in fonts or sandstones all more cute ones than the others: quite charming.
