Celebrating surrealism in the capital of the olympics
Lausanne became capital of the Olympic Games in 1915, and the legendary five-ring flag flies proudly from the roof of the Lausanne Palace Hotel. Why is that? Because, since 1980, the Lausanne Palace has been home to the presidents of the IOC (International Olympic Committee), and the Olympic spirit is celebrated here every day. Another celebration is being marked this year, very near the Lausanne Palace. The fabulous Platforme 10 Museum is marking the centenary of Surrealism with a vast exhibit. Swiss artist, Jean Tinguely, who founded the Movement of the New Surrealists, was commissioned by IOC President Juan-Antonio Samaranch to design the 1990 poster marking the 75th anniversary of the IOC. What goes around comes around.
Thus, this long-awaited first edition of the Lausanne Palace City Guide is published to celebrate both the Olympic Games and Surrealism.
Which some might call a surreal combination.
