The Cantonal Museum of Zoology in Lausanne has been merged and, as of 1 January 2023, became a department of the Naturéum, a Swiss museum dedicated to the natural sciences.[1] The zoological department is located in the Palais de Rumine, Lausanne, Switzerland.
The museums history dates from 1779, when the "objects" of natural history in the Académie de Lausanne were indexed by Daniel-Alexandre Chavannes.
In 1826, Chavannes vertebrate collection was purchased by L'Etat de Vaud. The museum opened in the Académie de Lausanne in 1833. In 1886, the museum acquired 1,300 specimens bird specimens from Albert Vouga (1829–1896), the author of Album Neuchâtelois. Vues historiques et pittoresques a book of landscape and natural history photography.
Important collections of later date include the ant collection of Auguste Forel and the insect collection of the then Director Jacques Aubert (1916–1995).
The museum moved to its present location Palais de Rumine in 1906.
