Gallery tips for Lausanne
A few things worth knowing before you work through Lausanne's art galleries:
- Check for artist talks at Galerie Zed. Talks, walkthroughs and panel discussions are often free and turn a good show into a great evening.
- Visit twice if it moves you at Viceversa - l'annexe. A second visit to a strong show is never wasted. You see completely different work the second time.
- Buy the catalogue. Exhibition catalogues are the affordable art book. They sell out after the show closes.
- Don't skip the project room. The small back room often holds the most interesting work — emerging artists, experiments, one-night installations.
Good to know
We searched about 25 km around Lausanne — that covers the town itself plus the surrounding communities you'd reasonably drive to. Listings come from OpenStreetMap, mapped by local volunteers, so a brand-new art gallery in Lausanne can take a while to appear. If you spot one of the 11 that's closed, or a great art gallery we missed, the fix is to update the map itself — that's where this guide reads from.
We don't review exhibitions — shows change too fast. What we list is the where: real galleries, verified by real mappers.
If you run one of the 11 listed here and something's wrong — a closure, a move, new hours — the fix is the same: update the shop on OpenStreetMap and the correction flows through to this page on the next daily refresh.
