La Nuit des musées de Lausanne et Pully 2025
On the occasion of the 24th edition of the Nuit des musées de Lausanne et Pully, the SAPA Foundation invites you to a unique journey of discovery into its archives. Visitors of all ages can look forward to playful and interactive experiences: participatory workshops, stimulating encounters, as well as a book and poster exchange. A day full of surprises awaits!
The event also marks the conclusion of the project Les Souffleurs de temps, an innovative initiative combining artistic creation - literary, acoustic, and digital - with historical research and cultural engagement. Two new offerings have been created especially for the occasion: the exhibition Le Masque maudit and the family workshop La Fabrique des archives fabuleuses. Because every object carries a story...
Programme Highlights
LE MASQUE MAUDIT
The adventure exhibition that comes alive only with you
Feu Follet needs your help to recover his memory and solve the riddle of his curse. This interactive adventure exhibition invites visitors on a unique immersion into the SAPA archives. During the tour, a notebook is gradually completed page by page, culminating in a surprising discovery.
