Lausanne's Premier Museums

Lausanne’s cultural landscape spans from the world-renowned Olympic Museum, dedicated to the history of the Games, to specialized institutions like Photo Élysée and the Collection de l’Art Brut. The city’s heritage is preserved through the Roman Museum’s archaeological finds and the historical exhibits within the former Bishop’s Palace. Architectural highlights include the Renaissance-style Palais de Rumine, which houses multiple cantonal collections, and the modern Plateforme 10 district, which serves as a hub for contemporary design and fine arts.
