Homage to the House of Gaudard
The Gaudard house, in the Place de la Cathédrale, has been mudac’s home for exactly 20 years, serving its purpose admirably. As this era draws to a close, mudac wishes to pay tribute to the house in the museum’s last exhibition before its upcoming move.
An extraordinary exhibition
Each room in the museum has been assigned a role associated with everyday life : library, kitchen, dining room, bedroom, game room, music room, bathroom and basement. The exhibition features objects collected by the curators over the years in a purposefully subjective presentation. These hidden gems and remarkable objects immerse the viewer in a dreamlike and deeply personal world that plays with the concept of function : the objects are too large or too small, jocose, bestial, vegetal, subtle, disturbing or even fabulous.
The spirits of the house
Extraordinary! is mudac’s last show before the museum moves to the PLATEFORME 10 arts district near the Lausanne train station. It is a fitting farewell to two decades of art and design in the Gaudard house.
