Espace des Inventions

Espace des Inventions is a science museum in Lausanne offering interactive exhibitions centered on technology, robotics, and scientific experiments. The spaces are designed for visitors roughly seven years old and up, with multiple stations for hands-on exploration.

The building was designed and constructed in 1964 by architect Michel Magnin for the Swiss National Exhibition. The original structure from that era, with its modern design of the time, remains standing today.

Visitors engage directly with scientific concepts through hands-on activities rather than passive observation. The exhibitions encourage self-directed discovery about how things work and spark curiosity about the world.

Visiting works best when you allow time to experiment at the various stations, especially when coming in groups. Comfortable footwear helps since you'll spend much of your visit standing and moving through the exhibition.

In Labo R, visitors can work directly with three different robot types: Ozobot, Thymio, and Bee-Bot. This hands-on programming and control experience allows people to grasp the basics of robotics through play.
