Inspiring, Exhilirating, and genuinely open to all

An inspirational museum. Large, open spaces, ramps, spacious lifts. Gardens are on an incline but fully accessible. The building and exhibits are fully accessible and facilities are available locally to use / borrow even if you do not have them yourselves (e.g. wheelchairs and folding chairs on demand). The only downside is that there is v limited parking (disabled or otherwise) meaning the best way to get here is by bus. That said, the buses run by T-L (Transport Lausanne) are fabulous, spacious, and fully accessible - it's a model city to visit if accessibility is important to you.
