Swiss Review 4/2021

Swiss Review / August 2021 / No.4 still-captivatingwork are seen as the precur- sor of cinema. Instead of glorifying the suf- fering, the painting remains an outstanding piece of art and a blunt indictment of war. During the current year of remembrance to mark 150 years since the event, themuseum not only looks back at the suffering as well as the solidarity with which Switzerland re- sponded to this wave of refugees. It also en- courages us to reflect on the borderlines and borderline experiences of the present day, offering an inquisitive and provocative take on theworld of boundaries, borders and lim- its – from our own human limitations, to contemporary border crossings and the modern-day refugees whose dreams these borders crush. Clearly, borders are a story of jeopardy and opportunity. Themuseumgets this message across not through paintings as Castres once did, but through a mixture of multicultural features, picture clues, po- dium discussions, and thematic guided tours. A century and a half later, the Bour- baki Panorama pushes its own boundaries as a visitor attraction. MUL Year of remembrance at the Bourbaki Panorama Special exhibition accompanied by a wide range of guided tours and events; until 31 December 2022 www.bourbakipanorama.ch 21
