Fondation Beyeler

Wow 🤩 what an incredible installation from Yayoi Kusama… this is definitely a trip worth going for. We had a group tour. One of the best experiences I’ve had for years. Looking forward to a second tour. Will be back again soon. Thanks Fondation Beyeler.

I planned to visit Beyer to see their impressionist collection. When I bought the ticket and checked in I found none present! I asked the staff and was informed the collection was on loan to a museum, hence replaced with a temporary exhibit. The temporary exhibit was nice but it was not what I came to see. I hope the foundation updates their website and improve the information adding transparency around what is on display. The building itself is also a design masterpiece so worth visiting

When we visited end of August, the exhibition was fairly small. Half the building was not accessible, Perhaps in preparation of the next exhibition? Still liked the place a lot. Beautiful building, Nice artworks, decent amount of Picasso's including sculpture. So if you are in the neighbourhood, worth a visit!

Better to book your tickets in advance. We went for the Kusama exhibition on a Saturday. There were a lot of people but still we could enjoy our visit. Definitely, it was worth the 30CHF entry.

Absolutely fantastic place to see famous artworks. You are immediately inspired from the exhibitions. Also, the way they design the exhibition is amazing, they take you on a journey through the museum for you to understand everything.

Interesting collection of modern and contemporary art in a beautiful building by Renzo Piano. The museum is surrounded by a beautiful park, which also features a café. Unfortunately, given the museum's small size, the collection is never displayed in its entirety, but rather gradually.

As a fan of Yayoi Kusama, this show at Fondation Beyeler was such a treat. It’s super well-organized and set in a beautiful art space. The Infinity Mirror Rooms are magical to step into, and her dots, pumpkins, and bright new paintings are full of energy and joy. The whole place feels calm and inspiring Definitely a show worth checking out.

Amazing art exhibitions and a great architectural design. Have been there at least 20 times since I live in Switzerland and I just can’t get enough of it. And off course now with Yayoi Kusama it is even better.

Small museum of one floor of many large rooms. We visited the Matisse exhibition and it was displayed well.

This museum was wonderful, filled with art by Pirosmani, Picasso, Thiebaud, Monet, Matisse, Cezanne, Warhol, and an abundance of other artists. It takes quite awhile to go through all the galleries to see everything, especially if you read everything on the walls, too! It was really breathtaking to walk into a gallery and see the large Monet painting "The Water Lily Pond" hanging on a full wall; such a beautiful surprise. His "Water Lilies" was also in the same gallery. Definitely worth the visit and there's a discount offered (50%) when you present your BaselCard, which is a tourist card you can get for free from your hotel. 13.50 CHF (Swiss francs) at the time I went (November, 2023).

Gorgeous museum set in a beautiful location. Quiet, peaceful and inspiring. Big windows and bright lights make the art experience feel very modern. It is not a large museum, so it feels like each piece has purpose. Overall an excellent experience from inside and out. The gift store features a wide range of fascinating art books.

The Foundation Beyeler is impressive as a building and piece of architecture. The grounds are beautifully kept and the permanent collection is quite small. The recent Gauguin exhibit was brilliant and shows the effort the museum puts into world class exhibits. Highly recommend a visit to this unique art museum outside Basel.

Very disapointing. Arrived straight from the airport at 15:00 and was informed that the museum closed at 16:00 for a private event. I asked for a discount instead of paying full fare for 1 hour. This was declined. I still wanted to visit the museum and paid CHF 25,- only to learn inside that half the museum was closed until October. Fed up with the whole experience.

It's a nice beautiful museum built in a green area. It was designed from architect Renzo Piano. The intensive building daylight with the view of the pond makes you rather feel outside in a garden! We had been twice there and liked Picasso painting, Louis Bourgeois surrealism and other sculptor's and painter's oeuvres too. The entry price is on average and the service is very friendly.

One of my favorite museums anywhere. Fantastic collection and building and setting. Follow it up, or start, with a walk in the adjacent park and up the vineyard covered hill just across the border in Germany. You can walk all the way up the hill on narrow paths that wind through the vineyards. Great way to spend a day.
