More info

Very interested in cryptozoology and taxidermy, Christophe Dumont sculpts fabulous animals around a theme, nature, and a material, metal, by combining it with plants or bones.

This exhibition would not have been possible without the Centre d'Enseignement Professionnel de Vevey (CEPV), whose students and teachers provided the base, signage and assembly. They also participated in the creation of two major works, "Theory of involution" and "Tatzelwurm".

The Museum of Supernatural History is thus the fruit of a joyful encounter between an artist, museums, and a school.

Free admission to the Palais de Rumine and to the Botanical Gardens of Lausanne.
