Stiftung Brasilea, Art museum in Rhine Harbor district, Basel, Switzerland
Stiftung Brasilea occupies a four-story industrial building from 1964, transformed in 2005 into an exhibition space with container-like architecture and raw materials.
Walter Wüthrich established the foundation after departing from Basel Harbor to Rio de Janeiro in 1939, where he met artist Franz Josef Widmar in the 1950s.
The foundation maintains a specialized library containing 2,500 volumes dedicated to Brazilian art history, literature, and architecture for research purposes.
The museum presents three to four contemporary art exhibitions annually in the basement and elevated ground floor, featuring both Brazilian and international artists.
The collection includes more than 500 paintings by Franz Josef Widmar, assembled through Walter Wüthrich's patronage of the Brazilian-based artist.
