The Vitromusée Romont was inaugurated in 1981 in the Savoyard wing of the Castle of Romont. The latter, dating from the Middle Ages, is a choice setting for the Swiss Museum of Stained Glass and Glass Art. The footbridge, built in 2006, links the historical core of the museum to the Fribourg wing dedicated to glass painting. Entirely dedicated to the arts of glass, the Vitromusée Romont houses important collections of stained glass, glass paintings, glass and graphic works as well as tools and materials related to glass production. With more than 14000 works, all facets of glass art, from Antiquity to the present day, are represented. The Vitromusée Romont is committed to a living culture and develops innovative cultural mediation programs at the junction between the transmission of knowledge, the creative experience and sharing, and thus invests in preserving and transmitting the history of a heritage of exceptional richness to a diverse public.
