MUDAC – Musée de Design et d’Arts Appliqués Contemporains

Besonderheiten

Since its opening in 2000, the mudac — Museum of Contemporary Design and Applied Arts — has built up a reputation for having an inquisitive and incisive attitude to the things that shape our way of life, and has always sought to ask pertinent — and sometimes impertinent! — questions. Its ambitious programme of between five and eight exhibitions a year alternates thematic projects with «carte blanche» events for designers from Switzerland and further afield, with a particular focus on young creators. The mudac prides itself on providing a forum for dialogue and exchange, bringing together design with the applied arts and contemporary art.

Firmengeschichte

Hat 2000 eröffnet.

The mudac succeeded the Musées des arts décoratifs, funded in the late 1960’s by Pierre Pauli. After his death in 1970, Rosemarie Lippuner became its director until 2000 and produced many exhibitions in addition to starting its now renown collections, such as its contemporary jewelry or glass art collections. The museum then moved to its current location next to the cathedral in the historic center of the city. The museum is part of the «Pole muséal» project, a new arts district that will open next to the main train station in Lausanne and unite the fine art museum (mcb-​a), the photography museum (Musée de l’Elysée) and the mudac.
