Musée National Suisse de l’Audiovisuel
Thousands of radios and TVs of all vintages are held in what is also known as the Musée National Suisse de l’Audiovisuel. Throwing more light on the history of radio and TV are audiovisual archives from around the world. The whole is housed in the former Grand Hôtel, a belle époque gem whose star room is the Salle Sissi, an art-nouveau marvel with lake views.

Musée de Montreux
The Musée de Montreux recounts the history of the town and locality. Displays range from a handful of Roman finds and coins through to period furniture, bathtubs and street signs. The steep streets around the museum and further uphill are the core of the original Old Town of Montreux and merit a wander.
