MEG - Musée d'ethnographie de Genève ("Geneva Ethnography Museum") is one of the most important ethnographic museums in Switzerland.

The museum was founded in 1901 on the initiative of Professor Eugène Pittard (1867-1962), the first Chair of Anthropology at the University of Geneva.
Pittard brought together public and private collections, mainly the ethnographic collections of the Archaeology Museum and the Musée Ariana, the holdings of the Evangelical Missionary Society Museum and weapons from the Geneva History Museum.
