  • Honestly, the Archaeology, Geology and Zoology sections are worth the visit. Keep about 1.5-2 hours in hand and slightly more if you come with curious kids. There are washrooms within the museum and outside. There's also a cafeteria. If you need more information, feel free to contact the museum staff.
  • Nice place with a lot of education inside!
  • Not too crowded with nice exhibition pieces, love it
  • We visited during the Lausanne Lumière festival. Very scenic the play of light was brilliant. It costs nothing, you can park your car or take public transport...buy take away food or carry your own...sit and enjoy the view. There are many shops and cafes in this area. Several of the sites are walking distance from one another. The site starts every evening 6pm during December all the way to Christmas. Do dress warm and check for rains beforehand.
  • This is a fantastic museum! It's not huge, which is actually a plus. It took me and my four kids two excursions to cover the pre-history, history, and ecology expositions. The history on Central Europe is excellent, especially 10,000+ BC human settlements. It is also FREE to attend!
