“Nothing is more moving than connecting with souls we had believed to be alien”. In 1941, the writer Noëlle Roger – also the wife of director E. Pittard – covered for the press the Ethnography Museum’s move to Carl-Vogt Boulevard, near the Anthropology Laboratory. This sentimental phrasing, like the choice of photographs, expresses how education and wonderment would from then on be combined in the rooms of this reinvented museum, henceforth competing with its Swiss cousins and the leading Genevan institutions.
