Musée de Pully, Art museum in Pully, Switzerland
The Musée d'art de Pully is an art museum in Pully, Switzerland. It occupies a pale blue four-storey building with a central arched entrance and grey shutters, and its collection holds around five thousand works and objects.
Founded in 1949 as the Musée du Vieux Pully, the institution first aimed to preserve local heritage and memory. Over the decades it transformed into a fully dedicated art museum, and in 2024 a new director began rethinking its collection.
The museum is a local meeting point where residents gather for openings and vote for their favorite work during the annual young artist competition. Its collection reflects the town's identity, with works by regional artists and pieces that tell the story of Pully.
The museum is in the town center, a short walk from the train station, and the entrance is at street level with double glass doors. Visitors can explore the galleries at an easy pace, and the building is accessible for most people.
The collection includes unexpected items such as a wrought-iron church rooster and a wooden table that belonged to Marius Borgeaud. These objects sit alongside paintings and photographs, showing the eclectic mix that makes the museum special.
