Contemporary Art in Geneva...

The following day we drove into Geneva. After lunch at an insanely expensive Christmas market, we went to MAMCO, the contemporary art museum housed in an old industrial building. 
I particularly liked the temporary exhibit of neon lights....
....and this funky room with Christmas lights.
As always, Veronica was happy to see some funky art. 
She especially had a good laugh at Tony, who’s an OB/Gyn, pointing to metal female reproductive organs hanging from the ceiling.
It was interesting to learn that the museum had crowdfunded the purchase of this Picasso.
Riverrun (from Swerve to Bend) was made up of 37 steel pieces of the same length that resembled railroad tracks.
I thought these colourful and geometric pieces were cool....
....but even cooler was this poster of Alf, a beloved alien starring in a sitcom of the same name in the late 80s.
