Musée du Léman — Attraction in Nyon

Very well organized exhibitions of the culture and history of Lac Leman on 3 levels. There is a small aquarium where one can see the fishes which live in the lake. It is easy to identify them thanks to the clear explanation and realistic pictures. My favourite section is about the boat and lifeguard theme: real boats, a life size lifeguard boat cabin, the history of Helvetica steamboat and many more interesting detais and makets. Being lucky enaugh to see the Plash! temporary exhibition about the bathing culture of Lac Leman do not miss the short movie 'Aubade' in the cinema box. A small self service cafe place ensure some rests with a panoramic lake view during the visit. The staff is very helpful and friendly at the reception. They speak English. Tipp: entry is free on the first Sunday...

What was strange to see is an information about microplastic in a room with plastic tables...
