Château de Morges, rue du Château, Morges

Housed since 2016 in a fine wood-panelled room of the Château de Morges, the Musée Paderewski bears witness to the presence of the Polish pianist and statesman on the shores of Lake Geneva, between 1897 and 1940, through mostly original objects and documents gathered from 1977 by the Société Paderewski de Morges, whose heir since 2014 is the Fondation Paderewski. Panels, display cases, listening posts and an interactive terminal give access to the entire digitised collection, in which one relives the atmosphere of the now-vanished Riond-Bosson estate, his concert tours, his political commitment and his work as a composer.
