Museums in Lausanne
Olympic capital and city of museums: Lausanne offers a rare cultural density for families. Between the Olympic Museum by the lake, AQUATIS and its giant aquariums, the Palais de Rumine, and the arts district of Plateforme 10 just steps from the train station, it's impossible to see it all in one visit.
Children have their favorite spots: the Espace des Inventions and the Musée de la Main to explore science hands-on, the archaeological park of Vidy to play Romans outdoors, the Collection de l'Art Brut to open their eyes wide.

Why choose Lausanne for a family museum outing?
Because there is a museum for every desire and every weather, almost all accessible by metro or bus. A typical day: science in the morning at the Espace des Inventions, a picnic by the lake, then the Olympic Museum or AQUATIS in the afternoon.
Art lovers are not left out: Plateforme 10 brings together three museums in the same neighborhood, the Fondation de l'Hermitage adds a garden to run around between two rooms, and Photo Elysée brings photography to a child's level. Be sure to check the closing days — often Monday — before planning your visit.
