14 | Historisches Museum <strong>Basel</strong> – Haus zum Kirschgarten → P. 22<br />
The Haus zum Kirschgarten built between 1775 and 1780 is an<br />
outstanding example of early neoclassicism. It was designed<br />
by the <strong>Basel</strong> architect and draughtsman Johann Ulrich Büchel as<br />
a home and business premises for the silk-ribbon manufacturer<br />
Johann Rudolf Burckhardt (1750–1813), and for many years<br />
was the grandest mansion in the city. Since 1951 it has been a<br />
museum of domestic life specialising in the lives of the affluent<br />
bourgeoisie in 18th- and 19th-century <strong>Basel</strong>.<br />

Kunstmuseum <strong>Basel</strong>’s main<br />
building, which opened in 1936,<br />
was designed by the <strong>Basel</strong><br />
architect Rudolf Christ and the<br />
Stuttgart master builder Paul<br />
Bonatz. The warm-hued, neoclassical<br />
architecture with its suites<br />
of galleries and public courtyard<br />
remains as popular as ever.<br />
18 | Kunsthalle <strong>Basel</strong> → P. 25<br />
The neoclassical building housing<br />
Kunsthalle <strong>Basel</strong> was commissioned<br />
by the Basler Kunstverein,<br />
which financed it with the revenues<br />
generated by two of the ferries<br />
across the Rhine. It was built<br />
between 1869 and 1872 to plans<br />
by the architect Johann Jakob<br />
Stehlin-Burckhardt, while the<br />
interior design is in part the work<br />
of artists Arnold Böcklin and Ernst<br />
Stückelberg. For 150 years now,<br />
its timeless architecture has shed<br />
its own unique light on the works of<br />
contemporary art exhibited there.<br />

Designed by Ticinese architect Mario Botta (b. 1943), Museum Tinguely<br />
is idyllically situated in a park on the banks of the Rhine. It was conceived<br />
to house the world’s largest collection of the works of Jean<br />
Tinguely (1925–1991), who ranks among the great artistic pioneers of<br />
the post-1950 period. Inspired by Tinguely’s conceptual world, Museum<br />
Tinguely also hosts a varied programme of shows and events.<br />

The former granary and arsenal<br />
housing the Museum.BL in Liestal’s<br />
historical centre counts among the<br />
oldest buildings in town. It was<br />
built in 1518 and has been used as a<br />

The Umbrella House built in Tokyo in 1961 by Japanese architect<br />
Kazuo Shinohara (1925–2006) was to have been torn down, but<br />
now stands on the Vitra Campus in Weil am Rhein. Shinohara<br />
ranks among the great old masters of Japanese architecture. Built<br />
in the context of his engagement with tradition and modernity,<br />
his iconic house captures the interior feel of a traditional Japanese<br />
house and translates it into the present.<br />

to replace severed body parts for thousands of years. The<br />
oldest prosthesis found to date is an astonishing 3500 years<br />
old! The simple wooden stumps of the past have now become<br />

Art, architecture and nature combine harmoniously in<br />
Switzerland’s most-visited art museum. The main building<br />
designed by architect Renzo Piano in the idyllic Berower Park<br />
houses a near legendary collection of some four hundred<br />
masterpieces of modernism and contemporary art, including<br />
works by Picasso, Monet, Matisse, Cézanne and Giacometti,<br />
but also Andy Warhol, Louise Bourgeois, Marlene Dumas and<br />
Wolfgang Tillmans. The existing ensemble is currently being<br />
enlarged by an extension designed by Atelier Peter Zumthor.<br />
29.1.–21.5.<strong>2023</strong> Wayne Thiebaud<br />
The renowned American artist Wayne Thiebaud (1920–2021)<br />
began his career as a graphic designer and worked briefly for<br />
Walt Disney Studios. In his famous still lifes of food, he<br />
depicted the promise and abundance of the American way<br />
of life. In addition to the still lifes, this exhibition shows<br />
portraits as well as Thiebaud’s multi-perspective cityscapes<br />
and landscapes.<br />
19.2.–1.5.<strong>2023</strong> PICASSO. Artist and Model – Last Pictures<br />
As part of the international events to commemorate the<br />
fiftieth anniversary of the death of Pablo Picasso (1881–1973),<br />
Fondation Beyeler is to present a very focused selection of the<br />
artist’s late paintings that show him grappling with the image<br />
of the artist and his model. As viewers will discover, these also<br />
raise questions regarding the representation of women in art<br />
and today’s critiques of the same.<br />
21.5.–17.9.<strong>2023</strong> Doris Salcedo<br />
This major exhibition dedicated to the internationally<br />
renowned Colombian artist Doris Salcedo (b. 1958) features<br />
important works from her various creative periods. In her objects,<br />
sculptures and site-specific interventions, Salcedo deals<br />
with the never-ending cycle of violence, outrage, mourning,<br />

Georgian artist Niko Pirosmani (1862–1918) is (still) unknown<br />
to many, while others idolise him in an almost cult-like<br />
way. Pirosmani was one of the outstanding artists of early<br />
modernism. With fifty rarely seen masterpieces from the<br />
Georgian National Museum in Tbilisi this exhibition provides<br />
an introduction to Pirosmani’s artistic world.<br />

The Weidling was an important means of transport for <strong>Basel</strong>’s<br />
economy in the Middle Ages. These flat boats, which until<br />
the 20th century were built exclusively of wood, were ideally<br />
suited for navigating the wild Rhine with its many shallows.<br />
The exhibition shows a real Weidling, describes its history in<br />
pictures, sounds and texts, and brings old stories back to life.<br />

2.9.–12.11.<strong>2023</strong> Technological Sublime<br />
The pursuit of new frontiers of knowledge, accompanied by<br />

The tapestry Wild People on a Stag Hunt (ca. 1468) is<br />
one of the great treasures of the <strong>Basel</strong> collection. It<br />
shows a hunter armed with a sabre and hunting horn<br />
taking leave of his wife, who is brandishing a large<br />
spoon. Other scenes show a hunter flirting with a lady<br />
falconer and a huntress receiving ambiguous promises<br />
from her partner. The wall-hanging was a wedding gift<br />
from <strong>Basel</strong>’s burgomaster Hans von Flachslanden (1412–<br />
1476) to his second wife. The theme is an allegory<br />
for men’s efforts to win the favour of the opposite sex.<br />

Claude Monet (1840–1926) was a key exponent of<br />
Impressionism whose landscapes and garden views<br />
revolutionised painting. His late works all turn<br />
on his garden in Giverny, which starting in 1890 he<br />
transformed into an earthly paradise with a flower<br />
garden and lily pond. From 1900 onwards, the<br />
painter dedicated himself to capturing the constantly<br />
changing colour spectacle of his garden. This gave<br />
rise to the famous waterlily paintings, which concentrate<br />
on reflections of nature in the lily pond, broken<br />
only by flowers and lily pads. Abstract Expressionism<br />
would be all but inconceivable without these works<br />
as an antecedent.<br />

The Naturhistorisches Museum <strong>Basel</strong> has brought the best<br />
known prehistoric bird back to life. The magnificent colours<br />
and plumage of this archaeopteryx are based on the latest<br />
information obtained from fossil finds. The ancient bird lived<br />
150 million years ago and looked rather bizarre, resembling<br />
a chicken from the front and a duck from the back with<br />
some turkey-like features thrown in. The archaeopteryx can<br />
be admired in all its glory in the museum’s permanent<br />

Silent Night?<br />
The carol Silent night, holy night! celebrates Christmas as a<br />
time of silent prayer and devotion. Yet by the time the angels,<br />
shepherds, musicians and market traders have arrived to pay<br />
their respects to the Infant Jesus, any sense of tranquillity is<br />
long gone. Our exhibition of crowded nativity scenes will also<br />
invite visitors to join in some carol singing.<br />

Shortly before the property was demolished in 1937, fragments<br />
of the murals were saved and put into storage. Recently<br />
brought back to light, those fragments are the subject of this<br />
exhibition, which also poses the question of what their future<br />

MUSEUM TINGUELY<br />
With his kinetic works of art, Swiss artist Jean Tinguely<br />
(1925–1991) is one of the important pioneers of art after 1950.<br />
Museum Tinguely, which is housed in a building by Mario<br />
Botta on the banks of the Rhine, boasts the world’s largest<br />
collection of his works from the early, filigree reliefs to the<br />
monumental machine sculptures of the 1980s. Inspired<br />
by Tinguely’s conceptual world, the museum also hosts a<br />
varied programme of shows and events, seeks dialogue with<br />
other artists, art forms and disciplines and promises an<br />
interactive museum experience for all the senses.<br />

New Presentation of Museum Tinguely’s Collection<br />
According to Tinguely, “we live in a wheeled civilisation”.<br />
Even today, our lives are shaped by the co-dependency of man<br />
and machine that Tinguely deconstructed with such relish.<br />
Now, for the first time since the museum was founded,<br />
its since enlarged collection of Tinguely’s own works is to be<br />
exhibited in its entirety. The tour takes visitors from the<br />
intricate and poetic early works to the explosive happenings<br />
and collaborations of the 1960s and the musical, monumental<br />
and sombre works of the artist’s late period.<br />

material? How have jungle noises changed over the past few<br />
years? Museum Tinguely’s series on the human senses in art<br />
continues with an exhibition on the sense of hearing and with<br />
it a chance for visitors to experience a wide range of auditoryinteractive<br />
encounters from the Baroque to the present.<br />

from interactive soundscapes to dystopian, immersive installations.<br />
They transport us into poetic, fairy-tale worlds driven<br />
by the love of storytelling and discovery. Their works are<br />
homages to cultural practices steeped in tradition – like cinema,<br />
theatre, radio plays and music-making.<br />

Garden Futures: Designing with Nature<br />
Gardens are places of recreation, pleasure and production. In<br />
recent years, the garden has also attracted attention as a space<br />
in which to create a better future, as evidenced by the spread<br />
of urban farms, vertical gardens and garden art. Starting from<br />
this premise, the Vitra Design Museum’s major new<br />
