Description:
Housed in a 17th-century building, this "museum of old Montreux" documents the various eras from the dawn of history to the age of tourism – quite a bit of ground to cover. Inside you will find typical artifacts like Roman remains and coins, and less typical showcases revealing how Montreux became a tourist mecca. |

Musée Ruzo |

Montreux CH-1820 • +41 78 616 95 42

Distance:
~1.116 km * |

Description:
Despite the range and vigour of the ‘hyper realistic’ works on show, it’s the man, not the medium, that’s the message here. The man was artist and philosopher Victor Ruzo, who excelled in every major genre of 20th-century European painting. Though Ruzo passed on 26 March 2008, his spirit lives on in the body of work he left behind. Though the museum is no longer open to the public, tours are available by request. |
