Why go
The Fondation Beyeler is a museum of modern and contemporary art at Baselstrasse 101 in Riehen, near Basel, in a park in a protected landscape area. Its visit page says the ensemble unites the Beyeler Museum designed by Renzo Piano with new buildings by Peter Zumthor (the Wyss Museum, the Ammann Pavilion and the Erlen Gatehouse), opened in stages from 26 September 2026, together with restored historic buildings, and that the collection has over 500 works of classical modernism and contemporary art. The museum recommends booking tickets online in advance to secure a date. Riehen is its own municipality, not part of the city of Basel; XTOUR treats Basel as the base for a visit.
