The Museum of Yverdon and Region is housed in the town's castle, a Savoyard square built between 1260 and 1270 by order of Peter of Savoy. The public can discover rich collections of regional archaeology and history dating from 4000 BC to the present day (Neolithic and Bronze Age, Celtic, Roman, Burgundian, medieval and modern periods). Two ceremonial rooms are still decorated with paintings from the Bernese period (16th-18th century). The vaulted cellars of the castle house a section devoted to ancient navigation organized around two exceptionally well preserved Gallo-Roman boats discovered in Yverdon itself. In addition, a room recalls the life and work of the pedagogue J.H. Pestalozzi and a tower houses a collection of Egyptian antiquities.
