Photo Elysée is Switzerland's national photography museum, relocated to a new building on the Plateforme 10 arts campus in 2022. The collection covers the history of photography from its 19th-century origins to the present, with particular strength in Swiss and European photography and a strong programme of temporary exhibitions.
The museum is well-curated and the new building is well-lit for its purpose. It sits alongside the MCBA and mudac, making Plateforme 10 the logical starting point for a museum-focused day in Lausanne. The campus has a good cafe with terrace seating.
