Renzo Piano, Fondation Beyeler
Architecture book
One of the Fondation Beyeler’s most important works is the museum building itself, designed by Renzo Piano. During the architecture tour, you will learn the story of its making — from Ernst Beyeler's initial idea to the inauguration in 1997. Structural features, the relationship between interior and exterior space, the subtle lighting and the unique dialogue between architecture, art, and nature are also discussed.
The number of participants is limited. Tickets are available in advance in our online shop or at the box office on the day of the tour.
Between 12 and 25 August 2024, we will be installing our next collection display (on view from 26 August) and our large Matisse retrospective (on view from 22 September).
During this time, the museum, the Art Shop and the «Beyeler Restaurant im Park» will remain closed. We look forward to welcoming you again once the installation work has been completed.
