Reformation Museum, Geneva, Switzerland
Website

This is a great place to visit for those who are interested in the history of the Reformation, to which our family was closely associated. There is a lot of Dutch history here, such as the Dort Synod - De Synode van Dordrecht, 1618-1619. Many of the magnificent books were printed in Holland (and of course in Dutch). These books are behind glass because of their great value.
