Jean Tinguely (1925-1991) grew up in Basel and belonged to the Parisian avant-garde in the 1950s and 60s. He stimulated and revolutionized the "static" art world with his kinetic works. The Museum's permanent collections present a selection of the artist's machine sculptures, reliefs and drawings from all the periods of his career. The Museum also offers a varied and lively programme of temporary shows devoted to Tinguely's fellow artists and contemporaries - Bernhard Luginbühl, Niki de Saint Phalle and Yves Klein - and to his models such as Marcel Duchamp and Kurt Schwitters, as well as to related subjects such as contemporary kinetic art.
