International Red Cross and Red Crescent Museum

I think this is the museum that's made the most lasting impression on me, or second only to Amsterdam's Anne Frank House. A wonderfil combination of sculpture, film, photography and artefacts highlight the importance of human rights, conflict in the world and the excellent work that the Red Cross do.

I have always been amazed at the skills that the Red Cross is able to demonstrate during a natural disaster or other major catastrophe in order to help provide humanitarian aid and relief in an incredibly rapid manner. That is why when I was visiting Geneva on business; I made it a point to see the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Museum. It does a good job of providing some details on the history of the organization, how it works, and highlighting some of the more famous work they have done.
