Musée Romain de Lausanne-Vidy
Musée romain de Lausanne-Vidy
A small museum at the Roman-era site of Lousonna in the lakeside Vidy district, with open-air ruins next door.
The Vidy area was the site of Lousonna, a Roman-era lakeside port town. The Roman Museum is built over the remains of a Roman house and displays pottery, coins, sculptures and everyday objects that recreate the lakeside trade and commerce. In the lakeside park outside, parts of a temple and forum foundations can be viewed free of charge. Nearby is Olympic House, the headquarters of the International Olympic Committee. Admission is about 8 Swiss francs, and the museum is closed on Mondays.
