About

The Fondation Beyeler is a museum of modern and contemporary art. It is considered one of the world's most beautiful museums. Its exhibitions of renowned artists have brought the museum international recognition and established it as Switzerland's most popular art museum.

The art museum is located in an English park with a historical villa, old trees, and water lily ponds. The museum building, designed by award-winning Italian architect Renzo Piano, fits elegantly into the cultural landscape and offers beautiful views of the park, cornfields, grazing cows and sheep, as well as the vineyards at the foothills of the Black Forest. The spacious rooms showcase the art in the most beautiful natural light. A green conservatory invites you to linger and read. The Fondation Beyeler combines nature, art, and architecture in a unique harmony. The Beyeler Collection comprises roughly 400 works of post-impressionism, classic modern and contemporary art, and 30 ethnographic art objects from Africa, Oceania, and Alaska.
