Geneva will soon be the place for art lovers to enjoy (even more than usual) as the Art en Vieille-Ville (AW) starts in Old Town. This is a biannual event that takes place both in May and November where galleries and museums present unique displays. It’s a chance to enjoy antiques, contemporary art and so much more.
A new participant on the scene is Galerie Salomon Lilian. They are a specialist in Dutch Old Master painting. They are having a themed exhibition of Northern Renaissance artists that will take place from May 8 until September 30th. Paintings that will be on display include Roelandt Savery’s Adam and Eve in Paradise and works by Rubens and Abraham Bloemaert.
