A Swiss Museum That Makes You All Tinguely Inside
If you've ever visited Basel, Switzerland, you probably remember seeing the Tinguely fountain of mechanical apparatuses that click, twirl and squirt. One element of it is shown on the left.
The new Tinguely Museum in Basel features a permanent exhibition of Tinguely's animated mechanical sculptures and is supplemented by special exhibitions featuring works of Tinguely's artist friends and contemporaries as well as other modern artists.
Basel is a fascinating city that sits at the corner of three countries: Switzerland, Germany and France. It's one of my favorite cities in Switzerland for its food and cultural diversity. Basel is also one of the hosts of the UEFA EURO 2008 soccer tournament starting June 7th. You don't have to have tickets to join in the fun, you can check out the Fan Boulevard Basel.
