I have to say I am not the greatest fan but on a visit to see a mate he took me here. Great photos and timelines of the band as well as some of Freddie’s costumes. Also a short film of the guys reminiscing about him. One room is laid out as a mixing studio. You can move the controls to modulate the sound. Also a wall where fans can leave notes and tributes. I really enjoyed it.

This made our entire trip to Lake Geneva and Montreux worthwhile and it is absolutely free. Of course, you can donate to the Mercury Phoenix Trust while visiting. My wife and I loved this studio experience. It is a free audio and visual experience that is sheer brilliance from the moment you walk in to the viewing of the Queen tribute wall on the outside. You get to learn the history of Queen in Montreux beginning with the Jazz album. Freddie's last vocals were recorded here in Mountain Studios as well as the rest of Queen's albums from Jazz onward ending with the posthumous release of Made In Heaven. Even the hit Under Pressure was recorded here with David Bowie. The highlight is getting to be the mixer and deciding whether or not Mother Love or Made In Heaven should have more guitar or more drums. You even get advice and encouragement from Brian and Roger. You get to see some of Freddie's most outlandish outfits and Brian's white winged shirt. I had so much fun here, loving every minute. While it is a relatively small museum, a true Queen fan will be completely satiated. There is even an Queen cinema giving even more to the history of Queen in Switzerland. What a loving tribute by the rest of Queen to honor Freddie. May he live forever in our memories and may he rest in peace.

When they said there was a Queen Museum in the Montreux Casino, we thought it would be small and cheesy. It actually was impressive. Queen's recording studio was located in this building and the casino did a nice job of presenting the group and, of course, its lead singer Freddie Mercury.
