Vieux-Moudon Museum

From 12 Apr To 26 Oct 2026

This Museum presents in a lively and original way the daily life in the 19th century.

Family cuisine, notary offices, bourgeois living rooms, the hard work of a farmer or craftsman, pub signs and the remains of the town’s arcades: all the objects presented show what everyday life was like in the past.

Located at the very top of the upper town, Château de Rochefort dominates the town with its imposing silhouette. Its clock, which is housed in a picturesque 18th century pinnacle, structures the life of the town's inhabitants.

In the museum, a stop in front of the interactive model, which shows the appearance of Moudon at the beginning of the 15th century (scale 1:500), is mandatory. A set of lights helps visitors not only to watch the history of the development of the town but also aspects of its everyday life.

In addition to the presentation of its permanent collection, the Museum du Vieux-Moudon organises a temporary exhibition each year.
