Fondation Beyeler features art inside, outside and all around. Inside, the foundation’s permanent collection consists of around 250 paintings and sculptures by celebrated modern masters such as Claude Monet, Paul Cézanne, Vincent Van Gogh and Pablo Picasso; these are exhibited alongside various contemporary masters and a series of 25 rare tribal art pieces from Africa and Oceania, brought together in a unique dialogue between radically different aesthetics. Outside, the beautiful, three-section building, specifically designed by Italian architecture superstar Renzo Piano to host Fondation Beyeler’s art, blends nicely with the lovely nature of Berowerpark, the parkland where the museum is located. Scattered in the park around the museum are numerous quirky sculptures by renowned contemporary artists such as Ellsworth Kelly and Alexander Calder.
