Museum Tinguely, Art museum in Basel, Switzerland
The Museum Tinguely features a collection of mechanical sculptures and kinetic artworks housed in a building designed by architect Mario Botta along the Rhine.
Opened in October 1996, the museum preserves and displays the mechanical art creations of Swiss artist Jean Tinguely, who pioneered kinetic sculpture during the 20th century.
The building holds the largest collection of Tinguely's interactive mechanical artworks, which combine engineering principles with artistic expression to challenge traditional art forms.
Located near the Rhine River, the museum welcomes visitors from Tuesday to Sunday between 11:00 AM and 6:00 PM, with wheelchair accessibility throughout the building.
Visitors can interact with moving mechanical sculptures that incorporate recycled materials, motors, and gears to create dynamic artistic experiences within the exhibition spaces.
