The Museum Tinguely in Basel is dedicated to the works of Swiss painter and sculptor Jean Tinguely. Opened in 1996, the museum celebrates Tinguely's kinetic art and playful sculptures that often incorporate movement and sound. Its architectural design by Mario Botta harmonizes with the surrounding parkland and the Rhine River. Key attractions include a rotating exhibition of Tinguely's works, interactive installations, and a charming café. The museum is accessible, with facilities for visitors with disabilities. Opening hours are Tuesday to Sunday, from 11 AM to 6 PM, with admission fees set at 18 Swiss Francs for adults, and reduced rates for students and seniors. The museum is an essential cultural hub that attracts art lovers and tourists alike.
