The building is very modern with a Japanese garden outside. It hosts art exhibitions both permanent and temporary. We saw the amazing retrospective exhibition of painter Hodler, who painted Swiss lanscapes in a very impressive and colourful way.

Viewed from the outside, it is a gem of modern architecture. From inside, the glass walls incorporate the countryside and the flood of daylight. The floors appear to be made of rich chalk-treated oak. The rooms are huge and give each work of art the space it needs, There are chairs and sofas everywhere, and hundreds of art books too.... More

This is an incredibly beautiful and well sited building designed by the famous architect, Renzo Piano, that offers a fabulous space for the works of the Swiss artist, Ferdinand Holder. His portraits and self-portraits and landscapes of the Swiss Mountains are sublime. A very important collection of astonishing beauty.

Coming here during light snow fluries in February was a real treat. Around the museum the stark grey and white vista was peaceful and soothing. Take the time to walk the museum's out door grounds. The museum is well known and world class. Unfortunately only the Ferdnand Hodler exhibition was on during my trip, so keep abreast with exhibition schedules.... More

Fabulous modern collection in a magnificent piece of modern architecture on beautiful grounds.

We saw their exhibit of Degas' late career drawings and paintings, and it was very nicely arranged and had extensive supplementary information about his career and the works in both written and audio guides. We missed the opening of the Hodler exhibition by one day, but from glancing in the closed-off rooms, it looked pretty impressive as well. The museum... More

A must see exhibition beautifully layed out by theme organised together with the Neue Galerie in New York. ! After the exhibition go to the café and have lunch or even just a café its just a short walk in the Museums park... More

Fondation Beyeler is one of my favourite art spaces in the region. The Gallery is much bigger than what it appears from the outside. Wonderful setting - the outside space somehow becomes part of the inside experience thanks to the huge glass windows. Very interesting exhibitions, well curated. The only negative - parking is not very good.
