In 1841, thanks to the generosity of the painter Marc-Louis Arlaud, Lausanne opened an art museum and a drawing school under the same roof. Located on Place de la Riponne, this is the oldest museum in Lausanne. Its exhibitions range from the region’s young artists to the world of crystals, daily life in Roman times to the Ancient East. In 1997, the austere, finely restored neo-classic building discovered its true meaning and cultural mission. Under the name Espace Arlaud, it became the heart of the cantonal museums – art, photography, history, geology, zoology and coins, and the cantonal and university library, housing their temporary exhibitions.
