This full day event will include a curated visit to L'Hermitage followed by lunch at the Montbenon restaurant in the Lausanne old city.

During our visit, the museum is featuring paintings by Edouard Vuillard who was entranced by Europe's late 20C obsession with all things Japanese

The exhibition will be organised around the different genres in which Vuillard worked, seen through the lens of Japanese aesthetics. The artist’s highly personal approach will be explored through Scenes of ordinary life, Screens and kakemonos, Prints and graphic arts and The Wonder of Nature. Also on display will be a group of paintings by Vuillard’s Nabi friends who were greatly influenced by Japanese art, including Pierre Bonnard, Maurice Denis, Paul Élie Ranson and Félix Vallotton.
