Museum of Reformation Opens in Geneva
From Ecumenical News International:
Geneva is known around the world as the birthplace of the Calvinist Reformation, and now the Swiss city that is sometimes called the “Protestant Rome” has an International Museum of the Reformation for pilgrims, tourists and even residents of the city.
“The museum is a place for history but above all history that is alive,” says the museum’s director, the Rev. Isabelle Graesslé.
It was inaugurated on April 15 and uses original books, manuscripts, paintings, and engravings to trace the history of the Protestant movement, initiated in the city by French theologian John Calvin in the 16th century and which has since become one of the main families of Christianity.
