The Rhine is Basel’s secret landmark. As one of the most important trading routes, it has had a huge influence on the development of the city. Today, it makes up a significant part of the quality of life that Basel offers its guests and residents.

Ernst and Hildy Beyeler commissioned architect Renzo Piano to design a spectacular museum building for their prestigious collection.

The Kunstmuseum Basel is one of the best-known museums of its kind in the world. The museum today comprises the traditional main building, the Kunstmuseum Basel | Gegenwart and the prestigious new building.
