The Musée Jenisch is the fine arts museum of Vevey, opened in 1897 in a neoclassical building by Louis Maillard and Robert Convert, funded by a bequest from Fanny Jenisch. It holds the Cabinet cantonal des estampes, a large collection of prints and drawings, and the collection of the Oskar Kokoschka Foundation, shown in changing exhibitions.

The Alimentarium is a museum about food and nutrition on the Vevey lakefront, run by a foundation funded by Nestlé. It opened in 1985 in the neoclassical building that served as Nestlé's first administrative centre from 1921, and was renovated in 2016. The giant fork standing in the lake opposite belongs to the museum.

Chaplin's World is a museum about Charlie Chaplin at the Manoir de Ban in Corsier-sur-Vevey, the house where he lived with his family from 1953 until his death in 1977. Opened in 2016, it combines the furnished rooms of the manor and its park with a studio building recreating scenes from his films with wax figures made with the Musée Grévin.

Queen: The Studio Experience occupies the former Mountain Studios in the Casino Barrière in Montreux, where Queen recorded seven albums. The Mercury Phoenix Trust opened it in 2013. Visitors see the preserved control room, with a replica mixing desk for remixing Queen songs, as well as handwritten lyrics, costumes and instruments.

Fort de Chillon is an artillery fortress hidden in the rock opposite Chillon Castle, built from 1941 as the western gateway to the Swiss National Redoubt. The army used it until it was disarmed in 1995. Today it is a museum where visitors explore about 2,000 m² of tunnels, gun positions, dormitories, an infirmary and the engine room.
