Museums are cool

Considering the small size of Lausanne, there a lot of museums here - about 23 I think! Once a year on nuits des musées (night of the museums) most of the Lausanne museums are open till 2am and entrance to all the museums is only 10 francs - a bargain! A group of us decided it would be a fun way to spend an evening, and we weren't disappointed! We visited the Lausanne Historical Museum (the best thing here was a big model of Lausanne), mudac (Museum of design and contemporary applied arts - here there was a touch display with all sorts of materials that you could touch!), Collection de l'Art Brut (one of my favourite things from the night was here - some amazing art by Paul Amar - google him! You won't be disappointed!), and the Cantonal Museums of Fine Art, Geology, and Archeology.

Summer is slowly leaving Switzerland - mornings and evenings are chilly and the days are getting shorter... but that it is OK - we have snow to look forward to! It is just getting a little more tricky to train for the half-marathon as the hours of day light are decreasing, but we are still managing to get some good runs in! This time in 5 weeks I will be done with my first half-marathon!
