Lucens Sherlock Holmes Museum

The Sherlock Holmes Museum in Lucens is a literary museum dedicated to the famous detective character, displaying personal objects, manuscripts, and historical documents. At its heart is a reconstructed Victorian living room with period furniture and investigation tools from that era.

The museum was established in 1965 when Adrian Conan Doyle, the son of author Arthur Conan Doyle, assembled a collection to preserve his father's literary creation. This founding created an important place for fans and researchers interested in the story of this famous character.

The museum shows how the detective's stories have shaped how people imagine crime investigations and continue to draw readers from around the world. Visitors can see which objects and ideas inspired Arthur Conan Doyle when he created his tales.

The museum is located on Rue des Greniers and can be visited on weekends, with additional visits possible through advance booking. It is helpful to plan ahead, especially if you wish to visit outside regular opening hours.

The museum preserves personal objects that actually belonged to Arthur Conan Doyle and influenced him when creating the detective stories. These intimate items allow visitors to discover the real sources behind the well-known tales.
