The museum's most remarkable pieces are showcased within a revitalized scenography, enhanced by reconstruction images.

The numerous archaeological findings from the Vidy site paint a vivid picture of a Gallo-Roman village on the shores of Lacus Lemannus.Much like the Swiss of today, the Helvetians of that time were experiencing a period of profound change. Incorporated into the Roman Empire 15 years before Christ, the Helvetians now belonged to a new world centred around the Mediterranean. Life quickly changed: the use of Latin and writing spread, new techniques and previously unknown goods transformed daily life. People, ideas, and images travel. New leisure activities such as baths and theatre were adopted, Roman cuisine was embraced, and new gods were worshipped. The ancestral Gaulish culture did not disappear; instead, it blended with Roman culture to form the Gallo-Roman civilization.Integration, new technologies, globalization, cultural blending...: antiquity is relevant today!
