I love the MCBA, inaugurated in 2019, with its striking, modern architecture. Its original exhibitions, as well as the view over the town and lake from its entrance hall are not to be missed.

Ducros, Gleyre, Steinlen, Vallotton and Soutter: these are some of the Vaudois painters for which the Vaud Museum of Fine Arts (MCBA) is known, nationally and internationally. Their works form a large part of the museum’s collection, currently comprising some 10,000 paintings.

The MCBA organises several temporary exhibitions every year, each one accompanied with a programme of cultural activities including events, guided tours and workshops for adults and children. Admission is free on the first Saturday of the month.
