Plateforme 10
A new arts quarter beside the train station, housing three museums: the cantonal Fine Arts Museum, the Photo Élysée photography museum and the mudac design museum.
Plateforme 10 was built on the site of the old railway locomotive depot west of Lausanne station. The cantonal Fine Arts Museum (MCBA) opened in 2019. In 2022 the Photo Élysée photography museum and mudac, the museum of contemporary design and applied arts, moved in, making it one of Switzerland's largest arts complexes. Permanent displays at the Fine Arts Museum are free, while special exhibitions and the other two museums charge admission, and a combined ticket is available. The square and cafés in the complex are free to enter. It's about a 3-minute walk from the station exit.
Opening hours
