    Excelente museu que mistura percursos educativos e lúdicos tão interessantes para crianças como para adultos. (Exposição ao frio). Gostei muito da sala com a explicação dos montes de -600 aC e da tumba da carruagem e da escadaria que leva a ela com as escavações arqueológicas feitas a cada degrau. Os pequenos modelos feitos ao lado mostram o modo de vida e habitante dos habitantes daquela época, principalmente nas paredes rochosas. Muito bom trabalho, muito bem. Gostei da estimulante exposição de minerais. A sala com os raios ultravioleta é mágica, aprendi que os minerais podem ficar fluorescentes. Finalmente, o must é a vitrine onde você pode tocar um meteorito real. Finalmente, um museu que oferece uma interação real com alguns objetos direcionados.

    (Translated by Google) Superb museum which mixes educational and fun routes as interesting for children as for adults. (Exposure to cold). I really liked the room with the explanation of the mounds from -600 BC and the chariot tomb and the staircase that leads to it with the archaeological excavations cut out at each step. The small models made on the side show the way of life and inhabitant of the inhabitants of that time, especially on the rock walls. Very good job, well done. I liked the exhilarating mineral exhibition. The room with the ultra violet rays is magical, I learned that minerals can fluoresce. Finally the must is the showcase where you can touch a real meteorite. Finally a museum that offers a real interaction with a few targeted objects. (Original) Superbe musée qui mélange parcours didactiques et ludiques autant intéressant pour les enfants que pour les adultes. (Exposition du froid). J'ai beaucoup aimé la salle avec l'explication des tertres de -600 avant JC et la tombe à char et l'escalier qui y mène avec la découpe des fouilles archéologique à chaque marche. Les petites maquettes réalisées sur le côté donne à voir le mode de vie et habitant des habitants de cette époque, notamment sur les parois rocheuses. Très beau travail bravo. J'ai aimé l'exposition sur les minéraux très pressionante. La salle avec les rayons ultra violet est magique, j'ai appris que les minéraux pouvaient émettre de la fluorescence. Enfin le must est la vitrine on l'on peut toucher une vrai météorite. Enfin un musée qui propose une vrai interaction avec quelques objets ciblé.

    (Translated by Google) The building, built around 1900 in the style of the Florentine Renaissance, houses the cantonal and university library of Lausanne, the cantonal museum of archeology and history, the Musée cantonal des beaux-arts de Lausanne, the cantonal geology museum, the cantonal zoology museum and the cantonal coin cabinet. In this respect there is something for everyone to visit.

    (Translated by Google) Place dedicated to art and culture, located in a magnificent setting. However, very difficult to access by car. The blue zone is well guarded !! (Original) Lieu voué à l'art et à la culture, situé dans un cadre magnifique. En revanche, très difficile d'accès en voiture. La zone bleue est bien surveillé !!

    Je ne savais pas que le palais de la Rumine contenait plusieurs musées (5-6). J'y ai passé 4h30 au total tellement j'ai adoré !

    11/20. Correct mais pourrait être largement amélioré par l'utilisation d'outils numériques et interactifs. Accueil décevant. 2018
