One of Europe’s great photography museums is in another elegant 18th-century mansion overlooking the lake.
There are more than 100,000 photographs in these galleries, many produced with the earliest techniques: You can study daguerrotype , albumen and ambrotype prints and follow photography’s evolution right through to digital prints.
Feted Swiss photographers like Ella Maillart and Nicolas Bouvier bequeathed their life’s collections to the museum.
