A bit of history

In 1963, the approach of the ICRC's centenary revived initiatives for the creation of a Red Cross museum in Geneva.

In 1981, the Foundation for the International Museum of the Red Cross, chaired by Philippe de Weck, was created. It opened its doors to the public for the first time in 1988 when it then took the name of the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Museum, under the presidency of Jean-Pierre Hocké.

In 2013, after 22 months of work, the museum reopened its doors with the new permanent exhibition “The Humanitarian Adventure”.
