Basel – city of art and culture

Of the almost forty museums in Basel, most are dedicated to art. From the Kunstmuseum Basel to the Tinguely Museum and the Beyeler Foundation, this city really packs a punch when it comes to artistic variety and breadth. It is certainly no coincidence that Basel is known as the cultural capital of Switzerland. You will find that each period is represented in at least one of Basel’s museums, and this makes it easy to pick the right exhibition for your audience.
The city’s affinity for art is also reflected in the international fair “Art Basel”, which is held each year in spring and already boasts offshoots in Hong Kong and Miami Beach. And you will find that the diversity of Basel’s art events and museums mirrors your options when it comes to designing a fringe programme for your seminar or congress.
