I have been living in Lausanne for almost ten years and finally now got to learn about it's architecture, history and influences throughout the years. The museum is wonderful, really immersive and the staff is great. Check out their bookshop with historical and contemporary photo books on daily trips, famous restaurants in Lausanne and other interesting things you can visit.

Wonderful museum. Very immersive. The temporary exhibitions are always great. There is a gem of a find, their cafe. You have to ask the front desk to let you in and it’s a beautiful terrace with a view of the city. I really shouldn’t tell you this as it is so nice and quiet and quaint.

If you live in Lausanne, it's a must see. You can understand the reason why its urbanistic situation is what it is now, and learn the historic background of its evolution, through photos, movies and descriptions. A mock up of the town in its late middle age, occupying an entire hall, is probably the most attractive element in the exhibition.

A lovely location and an interesting museum, but a bit confusing because the heterogeneous collection of items is not explained in a clear fashion on not very legible signs. Still worth a visit.

Awesome model of historic Lausanne. Cool building. Entry isn't too expensive. No English info for the audio of the model city exhibition yet.
