PLATEFORME 10
The reunion of the Musée cantonal des Beaux-Arts (MCBA), Photo Elysée and mudac, together with the Toms Pauli and Félix Vallotton foundations, forms a new 25,000 m² arts district in the heart of the city of Lausanne.
Plateforme 10 is home to the three cantonal museums of Vaud – Photo Elysée, mudac and MCBA – as well as the collections of the Toms Pauli and Félix Vallotton foundations. The esplanade of Plateforme 10 is a real Lausanne neighborhood, with two restaurants with terraces – Le Nabi and Café Lumen – two bookstores and arcades.
Plateforme 10’s mission is to awaken the curiosity of all audiences by offering them a place to live, a space for discovery, exchange, learning, experimentation and wonder, as well as for leisure and contemplation.

Foundations Partners
Toms Pauli Foundation
Set up by the State of Vaud in 2000, the Foundation oversees the cantonal collections of both ancient tapestries (the former Toms Collection) and 20th-century examples of textile art illustrating the changes that occurred over the series of International Tapestry Biennials held in Lausanne from 1962 to 1995.
Félix Vallotton Foundation
Formed in Lausanne in 1998, the Fondation Félix Vallotton draws on both the artist’s archives, which the Foundation conserves, and the ever-growing body of knowledge touching on the artist, to foster scholarship about Vallotton and publish the results of its research.
