Impressive history of trains and people
Excellent photography exhibition with some of the greatest photographers from Western and Eastern Europe and the USA. There is a special exhibition highlighting trains and train stations over the decades that is fascinating. It includes some interesting videos as well as a few paintings in addition to photography. The building has an interesting modern design and is a cool place to visit in the current summer heat (July 2022). The admission fee also allows one access to the nearby cantonal art museum.

Museum - gallery of photography
I like photography, so I knew I will visit this museum. There were two exhibitions at that time: 'William Eggleston, From Black and White to Color' and 'Prix Elysée, the Nominees’ Exhibition'. Both were very interesting (for someone interested in photography). There is a nicec cafe and a bookstore in the museum, but the prices of books and catalogs are quite high. If you are not interested in photography, you can skip it.
