    The Broken Chair 🪑

    How to get there: Tram number 15 from Cornavin and alight at Nations (or any bus that stops at Nations) Geneva is a pretty small city. I did some research and found out the Broken Chair and The United Nation are the attractions in Geneva and ofc I have to pay a visit. It took only 15 mins to reach there from city centre. If you wish to visit the inside of UN, do remember to pre book it on their website!!!! (we decide to visit Geneva so last minute that we weren’t unable to prebook it :(( ) #urbanexplorer #境外遊 #mytripvlog

    Geneva's Broken Chair: Peace Symbol

    #hiddengems The Broken Chair in Geneva is a powerful symbol of disarmament and peace. Erected in 1997, it stands in front of the United Nations headquarters. This monumental sculpture was created by Swiss artist Daniel Berset and constructed by carpenter Louis Genève. The chair, missing one leg, represents the impact of landmines and the urgency for a global ban on these destructive weapons. Originally set up as a temporary installation, the poignant message resonated, and the Broken Chair became a permanent fixture. It serves as a constant reminder of the devastating consequences of armed conflicts, advocating for international cooperation to eliminate the use of landmines and promote a world free from the threat of such weapons. The Broken Chair stands as a testimony to the human cost of war and the collective responsibility to strive for a more peaceful future.

    A Symbolic Call for Peace

    The Broken Chair in Geneva stands as a poignant symbol of war's impact on civilians. This colossal sculpture, crafted from discarded wood, draws attention to the devastating consequences of conflict. Its shattered form invites reflection on the resilience of the human spirit amid destruction. Positioned in front of the United Nations headquarters, the Broken Chair serves as a stark reminder of the global community's responsibility to pursue peace and protect human rights. The emotive power of this artwork, coupled with its strategic location, makes it a compelling and thought-provoking testament to the ongoing quest for international harmony. #fallishere

    Summer in Switzerland🇨🇭

    Many people tend to travel to Switzerland during the winter. But for me, this time, we did not travel during the winter. But Switzerland is just too beautiful regardless winter or other seasons. On the first day, we visited places like broken chair, fountains and explored around in Geneva. The Broken chair was larger than I thought it would be and I really recommend you to visit and get a good picture there! There are lots of people looking for good spot to take picture, make sure you find one! Broken Chair 📍1202 Geneva, Switzerland We then travelled to different places like Grindelwald and Lucerne. The views were all very amazing and you get easily get the route online. Just to share two best restaurants that I had in Switzerland. One was at Lucerne, called Ristorante Da Ernesto. It is an Italian restaurant and the pasta was good. Do try out their tiramisu too 🙌 Another restaurant was at Grindelwald, called Barry’s. Do try out their cheese pot which is the best seller in their restaurant. The prices are above average but I think it definitely worth to trying! Ristorante Da Ernesto 📍Rathausquai 11, 6004 Luzern, Switzerland Barry’s 📍Dorfstrasse 133, 3818 Grindelwald, Switzerland #Switzerland #Travel #view #food

    Broken Chair Geneva

    Location: Geneva Experience: nice ! Follow me as I document and share my travel experiences! Broken Chair is the work of sculptor Daniel Berset. It was made in 1997 for the NGO Handicap International. Made out of 5.5 tonnes of wood and standing at a height of 12 metres, this impressive work of art has been dominating the Place des Nations since 1997. Its message is simple: remember the victims of landmines, urge your government to promote a ban on landmines.
