Students from the Swiss School of Business and Management (SSBM) in Geneva recently enjoyed an enriching excursion to the renowned Musée d’Art et d’Histoire. This visit allowed students to explore one of Switzerland’s most significant museums, featuring collections that span centuries of art, history, and cultural development.
Located in the heart of Geneva, the Musée d’Art et d’Histoire (MAH) showcases diverse exhibits that include art masterpieces, historical artifacts, and archaeological treasures from various civilizations. The SSBM students took part in guided tour, where they gained insights into the artistic and cultural evolution that has shaped Switzerland and beyond. Among the highlights of the visit were the museum’s expansive galleries, which contain works ranging from classical to modern periods, and thematic collections that highlight key historical milestones and artistic movements.
In addition to the guided exploration, the students had the chance to participate in interactive discussions about the exhibits, connecting themes from art and history to modern-day issues in business and society. This immersive experience encouraged students to consider how cultural narratives are shaped over time and how these insights can apply to understanding global business contexts.
The visit also sparked lively conversations among students and faculty, enriching the learning experience and building a deeper appreciation for the cultural heritage within Geneva.
The excursion was part of SSBM’s commitment to providing students with holistic learning experiences that extend beyond the classroom. By engaging with Geneva’s cultural heritage and history, students deepened their understanding of art’s role in shaping societal values and perspectives. This experiential learning opportunity aligns with SSBM’s vision of cultivating well-rounded, culturally aware business leaders.
Understanding the historical and cultural context behind art not only enriches students’ personal perspectives but also enhances their capacity for critical thinking—skills that are invaluable in the global business landscape.
