About this audio guide
This guide to the Musee Barbier-Mueller in Geneva follows collector Josef Mueller from a watch-parts family in Solothurn into the Paris art trade of the nineteen-twenties and thirties. You'll meet the Parisian dealers who supplied him with African sculpture and hear how he tracked every purchase by hand. It closes with his son-in-law Jean Paul Barbier-Mueller turning that private habit into the museum in front of you.
