Musée romain de Lausanne-Vidy, Archaeological museum in Vidy district, Switzerland

The Musée romain de Lausanne-Vidy is an archaeological museum in Lausanne, built on the site of a domus that overlooked the Gallo-Roman vicus of Lousonna. Its permanent exhibition, "Lousanna passé présent", has presented finds from the settlement since 2002, including a set of bronze tableware, jewellery, vases of coloured glass and seventy gold coins. The gardens around the building connect to an archaeological promenade leading to the remains of Lousonna in Vidy.

The first Roman museum in Lausanne was founded in 1934 on the site of a domus above the Roman town of Lousonna; a German source names Frédéric Gilliard as its founder in 1936. After rebuilding and extension, today's museum opened at the same spot in November 1993. Since 2002 the permanent exhibition "Lousanna passé présent" has shown finds from the settlement.

The museum reveals how Romans lived and worked in this region through everyday objects found at the site. Visitors can observe how people here dressed, ate, and furnished their homes nearly 2000 years ago.

The visit works well for people of all ages since the display is clearly organized and many objects are easy to understand. Allow time to browse the display cases and explore the outdoor areas with reconstructed structures.

The museum was directed in 2012 by Laurent Flutsch, a historian who also works as a comedian. The permanent exhibition, titled "Lousanna passé présent", has been shown since 2002. Among the objects on display is a set of seventy gold coins.
