Photographic Survey of the Canton of Vaud

28.06 – 28.09.2025

With the aim of producing photographic documentation of its living traditions, which are included in the inventory of the Vaud’s intangible heritage, the Canton of Vaud has entrusted six photographers, selected by competition, to produce original projects. In this exhibition, Thomas Brasey, Olga Cafiero, Sarah Carp, Matthieu Gafsou, Yves Leresche and Romain Mader reveal the result of their photographic investigation before their pictures become part of Photo Elysée’s collection.

Soleil·s

21.03 – 05.10.2025

From the spring equinox to the autumn equinox, mudac invites you to soak up the sun with the second Solar Biennale.

Giulia Essyad. Prix Gustave Buchet

12.09.2025 – 11.01.2026

Inspired by the architecture of transitional spaces, Giulia Essyad transforms the MCBA’s Espace Projet gallery into a sensory and spiritual labyrinth. Recipient of the 9th Gustave Buchet Prize, the Lausanne-born artist explores the mechanisms of desire and commodification through an immersive installation that weaves together DIY technologies, digital imagery, and personal memories.

Quartier des arts, Lausanne, Plateforme 10 et ses 3 musées

The new Arts District

PLATEFORME 10 is a one-of-a-kind site in Switzerland bringing together 3 canton-level museums and 2 foundations on a sprawling esplanade of nearly 25,000 square meters just a few steps from Lausanne’s main train station.

Inaugurated in 2019, the new building housing the Musée cantonal des beaux-arts (MCBA) led the way for the exciting adventure that is Plateforme 10. This was followed in 2022 by a new home for two other Lausanne institutions, Photo Elysée and mudac. As an arts district and lively public space right in the heart of Lausanne, Plateforme 10 offers everyone a unique opportunity to discover the diversity and interdisciplinarity of the arts and art making in the fine arts, photography and design.
