More information on Musee romain de Lausanne-Vidy

The Musée romain de Lausanne-Vidy, on the site of the former Roman town of Lausanna, is the ideal place to see after visiting the neighboring Roman ruins. At both places, you can learn a lot about how Lausanne was all the way back in 100 BC. A small-scale model gives a good idea of the area that was occupied. Many objects excavated throughout the 20th century are on display here: games, jugs, coins, tools. You can also see temporary exhibitions, all linked to Roman times.
