During its journey from the glaciers to the harbor of Geneva, water shapes the landscape, creates surprising aquatic scenery, and provides a habitat for many species of plants and animals. 

This exceptional natural heritage is showcased through an exhibition dedicated to its underwater ecosystem. 

Usually hidden from view, this fascinating and fragile world is revealed to the public through the images of photographer Michel Roggo, reminding us of the importance of preserving this essential common good.

The waters of Lake Geneva and the living creatures that inhabit them constitute an essential natural resource for the Geneva region.

The exhibition reveals an invisible and often overlooked world where vital biological balances are at play, highlighting the ecological, health, and climatic value of the lake. 

A vital source of drinking water, food, and habitat for specific biodiversity , the lake also plays a decisive role in regulating the climate , particularly by mitigating heat waves. It also offers unique spaces for relaxation and swimming in the heart of the city, contributing to the mental and physical health of the population.

An exhibition in partnership with the Maison de la Rivière and the City of Geneva.
