The Lausanne Vivarium came about because of the passionate interest of Jean Garzoni in the unsung world of reptiles. Self-taught, he began to collect them to the great displeasure of his family. In 1959, he put together a modest exhibition of reptiles at the Escaliers du Marché, and then opened his famous Vivarium in Sauvabelin in 1970. The Lausanne Vivarium has a permanent exhibition displaying more than 200 living animals, snakes, lizards, crocodiles, tortoises, turtles, amphibians, scorpions and tarantulas and has the largest collection of venomous snakes in Europe.
