Red Cross Museum - Geneva

In an effort to see more of what is in Geneva, we decided to tour the Red Cross Museum yesterday.  The International Committee of the Red Cross is located in Geneva, right across the street from the United Nations.  The museum is well very well done and I enjoyed learning about their humanitarian acts around the world since the late 1800s.

Statues in front of the museum, I believe they represent prisoners of war


The rows of archives of the International Prisoners of War Agency (1914-1923) are included in The Unesco memory of the world register.
