Housed in a Renzo Piano-designed masterpiece on the outskirts of town, the Fondation Beyeler is a modern-art treasure, featuring the likes of Picasso, Rothko, Warhol and Miró alongside African tribal art.
For a spot of whimsy, try the fabulous Museum Tinguely where native son Jean Tinguely’s wacky moving sculptures come to life. A varied programme of special exhibitions on Tinguely’s artist friends and contemporaries and other modern artists supplements the permanent exhibition of Tinguely’s animated mechanical sculptures.
