Plateforme 10, Arts district next to railway station in Centre, Switzerland
Plateforme 10 is a cultural complex bringing together three museums focused on fine arts, photography, and contemporary design. The buildings spread across a generous site with exhibition spaces, dining areas, and spaces for public gathering.
The site once served as a railway locomotive repair workshop before being transformed into a cultural destination in recent decades. The fine arts museum opened in 2019, marking the start of this shift to cultural use.
The three museums present rotating exhibitions exploring visual arts, photography, and design through different cultural lenses. You can walk through galleries showing how artists and designers communicate ideas across time and traditions.
You can buy a single ticket to visit all three museums, giving you flexibility to explore at your own pace. Restaurants on the site let you take a break if you plan to spend several hours there.
A special collection displays ancient tapestries and contemporary textile art from international biennials stretching back to the 1960s. These woven works create an interesting contrast with the modern exhibitions shown elsewhere on the site.
