Palais de Rumine, Palace in Place de la Riponne, Lausanne, Switzerland.
The Palais de Rumine is a large building in Florentine Renaissance style with staircases, halls, and detailed decorations. The rooms spread across multiple levels and provide space for various exhibitions.
Gabriel de Rumine, descended from Russian nobility, provided funds for this building's construction, which was completed in 1902. Architect Gaspard André designed the project, making it an important structure of its time.
The building contains five museums with art, archaeological finds, coins, minerals, and animal specimens on display. Visitors can explore different areas of knowledge and beauty in one location.
The building sits at Place de la Riponne and is easy to reach on foot. The exhibition spaces are spread across different floors, so visitors should wear comfortable shoes.
In July 1923, the Treaty of Lausanne was signed within these walls, establishing modern Turkey's borders. This historic event made the site an important scene of international diplomacy.
