Family at the Museums 2026
7–8 November 2026 – Family activities (registration required)
Every first weekend of November, the 11 museums of the Riviera region invite families to enjoy creative workshops and fun activities for all ages. It’s a unique opportunity to explore, create and share enriching experiences together, while taking home your own handmade creations.
If you live in the municipalities of Blonay–Saint-Légier, Chardonne, Corseaux, Corsier, Jongny, Montreux, La Tour-de-Peilz, Vevey, Veytaux or Villeneuve, admission to the participating museums is free, with the exception of Villa "Le Lac" Le Corbusier.
If you are visiting from outside the region, you can still enjoy free admission to the City of Vevey museums: Musée Jenisch Vevey, Swiss Camera Museum, Vevey Historical Museum, and Museum of the Confrérie des Vignerons (free admission on the first weekend of each month).
