Musee Cantonal des Beaux-Arts

The architecture of the building, signed by the EBV - Estudio Barozzi Veiga office, aims to promote the best possible relationship between the person and the work. She chooses not to compete with art, which she wants to highlight. Restaurant, bookshop-shop, Auditorium, specialized library, mediation workshop: so many tools that make it possible to extend the visit of each and everyone and encourage exchanges.

The MCBA collection includes around 11,000 works, and its reputation, both nationally and internationally, is based on five major collections: the Abraham-Louis-Rodolphe Ducros funds (1748-1810), Charles Gleyre (1806- 1874), Théophile-Alexandre Steinlen (1859-1923), Félix Vallotton (1865-1925), Louis Soutter (1871-1942).

The main collection skyline extends the XVIII ^th century post impressionism, with beautiful focal on cubism and abstraction Vaud. The museum's collection depends on donations from individuals, long-term deposits from institutions, and a purchasing policy that tends to supplement existing funds while keeping eyes open to contemporary art, Vaud or international. .
