Cantonal Museum of Fine Arts Lausanne and its collection

Cantonal Museum of Fine Arts Lausanne
Source

The Cantonal Museum of Fine Arts is home to approximately 10,000 artworks. While the collection spans a broad range of periods, it places a particular emphasis on art from the end of the eighteenth century to post-impressionism. This focus allows visitors to explore a significant era in art history.

Relocation to 'Plateforme 10'

In October 2019, the Cantonal Museum of Fine Arts moved to a new location, the 'Plateforme 10' facility. This move has allowed the museum to dedicate more space to its permanent collection, providing visitors with an expanded opportunity to explore the museum's extensive range of artworks.

    While most reviews are positive, some visitors note that the museum could benefit from more extensive descriptions of the artworks, especially for non-French speakers. A few also mention that the cafe, while pleasant, can be pricey.

    The museum's location near the train station is convenient for visitors. However, some find the surrounding area still under development, which can affect the overall ambiance.
