access
We recommend the use of public transportation to reach the museum. Travel time from Basel, Badischer Bahnhof is only a few minutes; from Basel SBB station, about 25 minutes. The tram stop is very close to the museum. Guests coming from within Switzerland can benefit from the SBB RailAway special offer. Those traveling by car will find parking spaces very close to the Fondation Beyeler in the garage “Zentrum”. If you wish to combine your visit to the museum with a bicycle tour, there is a direct bike path from Badischer Bahnhof. We also recommend the path that takes you through Lange Erlen.
Renewal/redesign of Bachtelenweg until June 2025
The municipality of Riehen is carrying out extensive roadworks on Bachtelenweg until around mid-June 2025, including renewal of the utility lines and flood protection. For safety reasons, Bachtelenweg will be closed to pedestrians and traffic in the section from Baselstrasse to Wendeplatz.
• Visitors will still be able to reach the Fondation Beyeler via the two entrance gates along Baselstrasse.
• A bypass for cyclists via Erlensträsschen or Weilstrasse is signposted.
Access from/to Basel
Renovation work on the A2 motorway in the Schwarzwald tunnel and Bäumlihof bridge section will begin at the end of March 2025. Due to the closure of the Wettsteinallee exit and the Riehenstrasse entrance in the direction of Switzerland, a new temporary traffic routing is expected to be in place until the end of 2026. Travellers coming from the north in the direction of Bad. Bahnhof and Riehenstrasse are advised to take the Hochbergerstrasse (A2) or Riehenring (A3) exits and continue along Schwarzwaldallee. Access to Bad. Bahnhof from the south remains unchanged.
Further information can be found on the FEDRO website.

during your visit
The Museum
The museum in Riehen near Basel is internationally renowned for its high-calibre exhibitions, its major collection of modern and contemporary art, as well as its ambitious programme of events. The museum building was designed by Renzo Piano in the idyllic setting of a park with venerable trees and water lily ponds. It boasts a unique location in the heart of a local recreation area, looking out onto fields, pastures and vineyards close to the foothills of the Black Forest. In collaboration with Swiss architect Peter Zumthor, the Fondation Beyeler is constructing a new museum building in the adjoining park, thus further enhancing the harmonious interplay of art, architecture and nature.
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.
