EVENTS & HOSPITALITY
Welcome to <strong>Fondation</strong> <strong>Beyeler</strong><br />
The <strong>Fondation</strong> <strong>Beyeler</strong> is known as one of the finest museums of modern art worldwide.<br />
Founded by Swiss art collectors Ernst and Hildy <strong>Beyeler</strong> in 1997, it quickly gained<br />
international recognition for its unique collection of celebrated artists of the 19th, 20th<br />
and 21st century.<br />
A harmonious fusion of<br />
nature, art and architecture<br />
Built by award-winning star<br />
architect Renzo Piano, the<br />
museum lies within the<br />
beautiful grounds of the<br />
Berower estate near Basel.<br />
The building reflects the mission<br />
of the <strong>Beyeler</strong>s to share their<br />
enthusiasm for beautiful art and<br />
nature with the public.<br />
The galleries are generously sized yet intimate, with a unique blend of artificial and natural light<br />
and magnificent views on the surrounding pastureland at the foothills of the Black Forest.<br />
Switzerland’s most visited art museum<br />
Amongst others, the collection comprises artworks<br />
from Paul Cézanne, Marc Chagall, Alberto<br />
Giacometti, Vincent van Gogh, Wassily Kandinsky,<br />
Paul Klee, Henri Matisse, Joan Miró, Piet<br />
Mondrian, Claude Monet, Pablo Picasso, Jackson<br />
Pollock, Auguste Rodin, Mark Rothko and Andy<br />
Warhol.<br />
In addition to the permanent collection, the<br />
museum hosts a variety of major exhibitions each<br />
year.<br />
In 2011, the museum recorded nearly half a million<br />
visitors and is now the most frequently visited art<br />
museum in Switzerland.

and theatre performances, art vernissages, lectures and talks, corporate events, gala<br />
