MUDAC is Lausanne Museum of Design and Contemporary Applied Arts. Permanent collection is…read moreinsignificant. New exhibitions are regularly organised in order to permit visitors to progressively see museum entire own collection. At the time I visited MUDAC there was an interesting temporary exhibition showing the work of a 40 years old French designer Guillaume Bardet. He drew an utilitarian object of daily life like cups, vases, chairs, lamps, etc. every day over a year period from 21 September 2009 to 21 September 2010. A dozen ceramicist produced his objects in white and different colours. Artist mental state mind changed over this year period from joy to deep sadness and despair! At the end of 2010 he became heavily sick for 6 weeks and almost died! Could this performance means and be artist's life's oeuvre? Museum's entrance is every first Saturday of month free. Building is next to Lausanne Cathedral on top of old city where you get a stunning view over lake and mountains.

I loved the Mu.dac. I found it by mistake while trying to find the history museum, and being…read moresomeone who loves design, decided to go in! The staff were super friendly (and were willing to practice my French with me, even though it took a lot longer). I spent a couple hours, really looking at things (it's a small museum). When I was there the first exhibit was on perspective, and the second was on touch- which was a shared exhibit with another museum! The touch one was really cool because you so rarely get to touch anything in a museum. Lots of different textures. I think one of my favorite exhibits was about a man who records himself everyday, then listens to the tape for that day a year later (and records over it). The third floor was a glass exhibit, and it's always nice to look at glass. I'd definitely go here if you're visiting Lausanne!

Les Freres Dutruy is one of my favourite wine makers in Switzerland. It was the first red wine in…read moreSwitzerland that I really liked. I found it in a restaurant soon after moving here, and then found it for sale in the local Manor. I hadn't had a chance until just yesterday to visit their tasting room. It was a special open doors tasting event for their 2011 winter wines. The tasting room is located in the centre of Founex village, and is easy to find. It is in a historical building, but the decor inside is beautifully done in light wooden modern tones. They are open for wine tasting every Saturday from 10-1pm. I don't think they make any bad wines. I have tasted them all, and they are good, but there are definitely some that shine above the rest. They have three different labels, one is from a vineyard in Founex, another is from a vineyard in Coppet, and the third is a combination of the best grapes from either of the two. The business has been in the family for multiple generations, and is currently run by two brothers. This is a fantastic place and definitely worth a visit. Bonus the owners are extremely friendly and the service is great.
