The Palace Ryumin was built in the XIX century in neo-Renaissance style and is reminiscent of a luxurious Italian Palazzo, and its facade is decorated with lions, angels and mythical creatures. The building was built for family members Bestuzheva-Rumaneh who settled in Lausanne in 1840.

After the death of the last representative of this family, the Palace was ceded to the state. Now here placed their collections of several museums: geological, anatomical, archaeological, etc. the Most interesting is the Museum of fine arts, the exhibition which you can see works of Western European and Swiss artists of the XV-XX centuries.
