Pascale Bonnard Yersin, the chief curator of the Roman Museum, has been a photographer for many years. Her artistic vision is shaped by a constant interest in cultural heritage in all its forms and across the ages.
In “ANTIQUES,” she brings together images taken at archaeological sites, exploring their aesthetics, their spirit, and the emotions they evoke. It is an invitation to look at the ruins in a new light and to let ourselves be moved—across millennia—by what connects us to these places.
As a guest at Arts Day on November 7, 2026, Pascale Bonnard Yersin will lead guided tours with commentary from both speakers—alongside Michel Fuchs, an archaeologist and professor emeritus at the University of Lausanne—at 11 a.m., 2 p.m., and 4 p.m. Through their shared perspective on the images, their combined insights will create a dialogue between photographic sensibility and knowledge of the ancient world.
The photography exhibition will be on display at the Roman Museum through December 13, 2026.
