Lausanne, Switzerland (TSR, Fre) – The new fine arts museum in Lausanne appeared Tuesday to move ahead, with the Vaud cantonal council voting to approve new credits needed to finance the project. At the same time, however, opponents of the project announced that they are starting a public referendum that would call for a popular vote. Their argument is that the public would prefer to remodel the current home to the museum, the Palais de Rumine, and keep the musée cantonal des Beaux-Arts in the city centre, instead of building a new and modern museum on the lakefront.
