Geneva - Promenade des Bastions

The Rousseau Museum in Geneva's university library contains manuscripts, books and compositions.

The Reformation Museum is located in the library of Geneva's university.

Geneva's Neo-classical Palais Athénée (art gallery; 1864) is southeast of Palais Eynard.

At the east end of Geneva's Promenade des Bastions is the elegant Palais Eynard (1821: municipal reception rooms).

On the south side of Geneva's Promenade des Bastions is the University, housed in its present buildings since 1873, which developed out of the Academy founded by Calvin in 1559 for the training of Reformed theologians.

This library founded in the 15th C contains 1,200,000 volumes, a collection of medieval manuscripts, portraits of leading theologians, scholars and statesmen. Jean-Jacques Rousseau's works and manuscripts are displayed.
