Fondation Beyeler

Fondation Beyeler is a renowned art museum in Basel that was established by gallerists and collectors Ernst and Hildy Beyeler and opened to the public in 1997. Housed in a purpose built structure designed by Renzo Piano, the institution is known for its close dialogue between art, architecture, and landscape, with galleries filled by natural light and views onto gardens and the surrounding park. The collection brings together key works of modern and contemporary art, including major figures such as Picasso, Monet, Cézanne, Giacometti, Rothko, and Warhol, and is complemented by an ambitious program of temporary exhibitions. Fondation Beyeler has become an international reference point for museum practice, combining scholarly depth with an experience that feels calm, intimate, and deeply attuned to the artworks on view.
