The Lausanne History Museum (MHL), entirely refurbished in 2018, is the ideal place to discover the evolution of Lausanne and of its inhabitants’ lives. The famous model of the Cité in 1638 introduces “Lausanne, the Exhibition”, a themed itinerary that bears witness to Lausanne’s very rich economic, social and cultural history.
“Lausanne, l’Exposition” (Lausanne, the Exhibition) is divided into 11 areas to examine the metamorphoses of a very specific territory, from water to mobility, from leisure activities to accommodation, from the Middle Ages to the Enlightenment…In addition to the permanent exhibition, the Lausanne History Museum regularly takes part in cultural events and presents temporary exhibitions.Audio guides are available for visitors in French, English, German and Chinese.
