An abundant schedule of events awaits our visitors. From live lithography demonstrations with Samuel Buri, a graffiti workshop for young people, short tours through the Edvard Munch exhibition, artists’ films, and tours with our restorers, through a balloon contest, tightrope acrobatics with David Dimitri, to a live jazz trio, there will be entertainment and recreation opportunities galore. The festival is Fondation Beyeler’s way of thanking all our visitors for their appreciation and loyalty. The entire Fondation staff will be on hand to ensure that our guests feel at home and everything runs smoothly. General Information Admission to OPEN HOUSE is free to all.
