Visit to the Fondation Beyeler
Important information
We look forward to welcoming you back to the museum. The exhibitions “Edward Hopper” and “Silent Vision – Images of Calm and Quiet” have been extended until September 20 respectively the end of November. In order to make your visit to the museum as pleasant as possible, we have adjusted our ticketing to the purchase of time tickets until further in additions to introducing various measures on site.
Please note that the number of tickets available per day and time slot for the current exhibitions is limited. This way we can ensure a balanced flow of visitors. Please book an online time ticket only if you are sure that you can keep the appointment. Only very limited number of tickets are available at the museum box office. Due to the popularity of the current exhibition, there may be long waiting times for those arriving without an online timed ticket. Please note that booked online tickets are not refundable.
The Fondation Beyeler bases its calculation of maximum visitor capacity on the directives issued by the Swiss Confederation and the Canton of Basel-Stadt, in accordance with which a minimum surface area of 4m2 must be provided per visitor. As the current Hopper exhibition is very popular and well attended, the museum is likely to be operating at full capacity at all times.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Now as ever, the safety of our visitors and employees remains our first priority. The Fondation Beyeler has therefore drawn up a comprehensive safety plan that takes into account the Swiss Federal Council’s Covid-19 Ordinances. In order to make your visit to the museum as enjoyable as possible in these challenging times, we have introduced several measures to optimise visitor flow.
Beginning Thursday, 7 May, admission tickets are available again online with a choice of time slots. Online timed tickets are valid for a specific date and time, chosen freely by visitors according to availabilities. Only a limited number of tickets is available at the museum desks. Please be punctual: arriving more than 30 minutes late may mean you have to wait.

Please also purchase a «0 CHF ticket» and then buy your reduced-rate ticket on site at the museum admission desk.

during your visit
Museum
The Fondation Beyeler is situated in an English landscape park that belongs to the historic Berower Manor. The gently sloping path lends itself to a stroll past art works by Alexander Calder (The Tree), Ellsworth Kelly (White Curves) and Thomas Schütte (Hare).
Beyeler Restaurant im Park
The menu allows guests to choose between an a la carte menu and an constantly-changing lunch menu. A large selection of cakes is available to accompany coffee, which, in future, will be prepared in barista quality. The wine list is based on the surrounding area, but also offers a good selection of wines from the regions from the rest of Europe.
Art Shop
Experienced art connoisseurs as well as gift seekers will find what they are looking for here. Our own products and art editions as well as selected design articles are also available in our online shop.
