Specimens 24

Joint exhibition of the Naturéum and the Cantonal Archeology and History Museum (MCAH) at the Palais de Rumine and the Cantonal Botanical Garden of Lausanne.

Specimens 24 is the first exhibition to be run by the Naturéum, in partnership with the Cantonal Archeology and History Museum and in collaboration with Plateforme 10's museums of art.

It showcases the scientific collections and questions the place and role of these museums in the face of the challenges facing our society, through their three fundamental missions: to remember, to study and to pass on.

A dialogue between art and science
