Stimmen
The Fondation Beyeler is of immeasurable value for Basel. It has brought the city into a new dimension, for us and for visitors from around the world.

Arthur Cohn, film producer
For me, the Fondation Beyeler is a portrait of Ernst Beyeler. Like a picture for the painter and a sculpture for the sculptor, for the architect a work of architecture can become a portrait of his patron. In this case, reflecting Ernst Beyeler’s persistence and subtlety. It is also the portrait of his wife, Hildy, and her proverbial, almost invisible discretion.

Renzo Piano, architect
Transcending borders, exhibitions at the Fondation Beyeler leave behind visionary dreams in people.

Rebecca Horn, artist
The Fondation Beyeler is a magical place, where people can accumulate pleasure, because here, architecture, visual art, and the art of living interact.

Maria Iselin, Community Councillor
Delegate of the Community of Riehen to the Beyeler Foundation
The creation of the Beyeler Foundation and its exquisite building by Renzo Piano is one of the highlights of developments in museums of Europe in the mid nineties. The building is especially suited to the showing of painting and in the first decade there have been some remarkable exhibitions.
