The Fondation de l'Hermitage is closed to the public between temporary exhibitions.
The Fondation de l’Hermitage – on a site that’s packed with charm and boasts a stunning view on Lausanne and its cathedral – impresses me every time. I never tire of viewing the exhibitions, with such refined harmony between the manor house and the displayed works!
A museum that puts up exhibitions and collections as beautiful as the setting that houses them. The residence and park offer a magnificent view over the Cathedral and lake. Cherry on the cake, the Restaurant L’Esquisse invites you to combine art and brunch.

With two to three exhibitions a year presenting works of an international scale, impressionist painters and sculptors like Degas and Gauguin are often featured at the Hermitage. On a more intimate scale, there is an extensive permanent collection of Chinese porcelain in the basement of the museum.
For an all-round enjoyable experience, the Fondation de l’Hermitage regularly organises cultural and gourmet events in the restaurant adjacent to the museum.
