Museum Tinguely
Museum Tinguely showcases Jean Tinguely’s kinetic sculptures in a riverfront building in Basel. Expect large mechanical installations, smaller automatons, video material and works by Niki de Saint Phalle. The layout gives the machines room to move, and there is a compact gift shop for art-related finds.

Highlights
- Rooms range from a very large hall with sequence-driven machines to smaller galleries of automatons and video interviews.
- Many installations produce strong, sometimes sudden sound.
- Machines run on timers, so parts of the show come to life only at intervals.
- Temporary exhibitions appear alongside the permanent collection, and some galleries are occasionally closed for rotation or maintenance.
