Collections

The Naturéum's collections contain nearly 7 million objects and specimens, making it Switzerland's largest natural history museum, combining botany, geology and zoology. A small portion of these collections is displayed in permanent and temporary exhibitions, but most of the specimens are used for research and heritage conservation. They are therefore not visible to the public.

Cantonal Government Websites and PHP Security Vulnerabilities

Like many organizations around the world, the cantonal government uses PHP, a widely used programming language, on some of its websites and in some of its applications. In light of the recently disclosed and widely publicized security vulnerabilities, preventive measures have been implemented to strengthen the security of the affected systems.

The natureum.ch website has been secured and can be accessed. However, the palaisderumine.ch, espace-arlaud.vd.ch and mcah.ch websites are currently still offline. You can contact the teams by email: info.rumine@vd.ch for the Palais de Rumine and Espace Arlaud administration and mcah@vd.ch for the Cantonal Museum of Archaeology and History, or visit the website lausanne-musees.ch
