The Aga Khan’s gathered an outstanding collection from a variety of cultures across the globe, reflecting their essence with this universal, yet very personal selection of fascinating objects and masterpieces. The 17^th and 18th century furniture interact with pieces by Diego Giacometti or Claude Lalanne, antique paintings are in dialogue with Picasso’s works, while Orientalist pieces resonate with pieces by Isabelle de Borchgrave.

Henri Samuel, one of the most exclusive interior designer of the 20^th Century, was in charge of the decoration of this stunning château on the shore of Geneva Lake.
