Art can move us, spark curiosity, and open up new perspectives. Our art education programs create space to follow these impulses, develop one's own ideas, and exchange thoughts with others.
Diverse programs invite you to discover and create, enabling different, personal approaches to art. They deepen the engagement with current exhibitions and artists, while also incorporating nature and architecture. This creates an open place where different interests and needs can find their space, allowing as many people as possible to experience art in their own way.
Exploring Through Dialogue
Here you will find various ways to explore the Fondation Beyeler in dialogue with our art educators. Tours in different languages offer an in-depth look at the exhibitions, the collection, and the museum's architecture. Beyond conveying background information about artworks and artists, the emphasis is on lively exchange. Our inclusive tours offer a richly sensory art experience for visitors with and without disabilities. Special programmes give children and families a playful access to art.
Explore independently
Various educational media offer exciting impulses for your visit to the Fondation Beyeler. From multilingual audio guides and video guides in sign language, to exhibition texts in the galleries, to activity booklets for children and sketchbooks for creative adults, every visitor will find a suitable form of accompaniment.
Getting creative together
The studios of the Fondation Beyeler invite you to freely explore materials and artistic techniques. Workshops for children and adults combine the museum experience with creative experiments. In addition to visual art-making, writing workshops and performative tours of the exhibitions are offered, and in our Storytelling Café, older visitors meet for a relaxed exchange of memories.
Learning together
The Fondation Beyeler offers a stimulating atmosphere for learning together with art.
Pupils and students can experience works of classical modernism and contemporary art in the original and combine talking about art with creative self-expression.
In addition to exhibition introductions for teachers, we offer training courses on key topics in art education.
As part of our adult education programme, we offer courses on our exhibitions in cooperation with the Volkshochschule beider Basel.
Our publications provide material for an in-depth engagement with works from the collection and current questions relating to art.
