Rich in its historic monuments, parks and gardens which contribute to its fame, Lausanne is also among the big cultural players thanks to its multitude of museums.
Endowed with a collection of more than 600 works, the Hermitage Foundation contributes to the democratisation of art thanks to the breadth of its exhibitions within a masterly house overlooking Lausanne.
Off the beaten track, the museum of Design and Contemporary Applied Arts or MUDAC strives to bring to light the works of designers, plastic artists, stylists and contemporary graphic designers. This institution also has two important permanent exhibitions available with the Jacques-Edouard Shepherd collection and a recommended foundation of glass sculptures.
