Fondation Beyeler

I went there on Christmas eve and there were a lot of people. It was designed by Renzo Piano. The collection and Yayoi Kusama exhibition were great! The cafe is really beautiful, too! I would love to come back in summer! :)

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!

We went to the Yayoi Kusama exhibition and loved it! We didn't book tickets ahead of time, but we made sure we were there 20 min before opening on a Thursday and were able to get tickets without a problem!

Came here for the Yayoi Kusama exhibition and wow! It was wonderful. A very extensive collection, that’s personal, provocative and really gave insight into her creative and somewhat tumultuous life. The museum itself is beautiful and has an impressive permanent collection.

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.

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.

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.
