Museum Tinguely
It is a place full of vitality, laughter, amazement and discovery; a place that sets the feelings in motion and where art reaches across to the spectator.
A museum that arouses in children and adults alike a need to experiment, to play and to think about art.
The museum is dedicated to the life and work of the eminent machine sculptor Jean Tinguely. The permanent exhibition displays works by the artist from all his periods.
The museum was designed by Mario Botta, the leading architect from Ticino, and overlooks the Rhine. The glass hall creates a sense of space for the renowned artist’s kinetic works of art.
