Paire de lunettes de neige iggaak

Family visit to discover an aspect of the rich collections of the MEG. Library and permanent exhibition. Thursday 30 June, 3.00 p. m. In French only

As part of the "Partir en livres" programme, whose theme for this summer is friendship, let us discover how Ottoki, a young Inuit, saved an astronaut on the ice floe near the North Magnetic Pole, and how the astronaut thanked him, much later and far from Earth. After looking at the objects in the Inuit showcase, we will discover the story of Ottoki in the library's music room. The visit will end with listening to Inuit sounds.

Places are limited and reservations must be made by email to biblio.meg@ville-ge.ch, stating your full name, telephone number and the number of people accompanying you.
