The museums of the Palais de Rumine are presenting a new shared and interdisciplinary exhibition. How can we define what is “exotic” in Switzerland or elsewhere? “Exotic?” examines the relationships between Switzerland and elsewhere during the Age of the Enlightenment, while aiming for a better understanding of world views and the stereotypes which arise from them, and making the link to the 21st century.
