Extraordinary!

26.02 → 30.08.2020

Last exhibition of the mudac at the Maison Gaudard before its move to Plateforme 10, the new arts district near the Lausanne train station.

Trib­ute to the Gaud­ard house

For 20 years, the Gaud­ard House has housed the mudac on Cathed­ral Square. To mark the end of this period during which it served as a museum, the mudac wishes to pay trib­ute to it. Over the course of three months, in an immers­ive setting, a rich selec­tion of objects and creations are presen­ted to the public.

Extra-ordin­ary pieces

Each gallery takes on the role of a room in the house library,kitchen, dining room, bedroom, game room, music room, bath­room and base­ment. But every piece displayed inEx­traordin­ary! has an unex­pec­ted twist – be it too large, too small, comical, bestial, vegetal, subtle, disturb­ingor magical.

The spir­its of the house

The objects are displayed theat­ric­ally in a card­board décor. Among them drift the spir­its that inhabit the house – visit­ors can catch a glimpse of these stealthy beings in the vari­ous rooms, read what they have to say in the exhib­i­tion programme and, in some corners of the museum, hear the sounds they make.
