Geneva Free Port, our neighbour in a nutshell
The premises house Master paintings, more than three million bottles of vintage wines, precious metals, antiques and high-end timepieces in a space totalling 130,000m2. Founded in 1890, the Free Port was originally a place where foodstuffs were stored, and it’s been a feature of the La Praille district landscape since 1962.
It offers secure premises, the temperature conditions of a museum and on-site assessment and insurance of artworks. The free ports in Luxembourg, Hong Kong and Singapore all took inspiration from this model.
