For the museum visit, including all exhibitions, you can book a timed-entry ticket in our online ticket shop. Select the date and time of your visit. During the Kusama exhibition, the time slots are allocated at half-hour intervals. Please arrive at the museum promptly at your booked time. You have 30 minutes to arrive at the museum. There is no time limit on your visit.

We anticipate high visitor interest in the Kusama exhibition, so we recommend booking online timed-entry tickets. A limited number of admission tickets are available at the museum ticket office. As capacity is limited per half-hour time slot, there may be a wait at the museum ticket office.

In the online ticket shop, you can book the regular "Admission Adults", "Persons with disabilities (with disability card)", "Admission BaselCard" and "Free entry up to 25 years" as well as the "Timed-entry reservation for free admission" and "Timed-entry reservation for reduced admission". This means that all visitors have the option to book a ticket or a timed-entry reservation.

Please note the following admission regulations:

• The "Admission Adults" ticket gives you direct access to the museum.
• The "Free entry up to 25 years" and "Persons with disabilities (with disability card)" tickets give you direct access to the museum. Please show your identity card/disability card there.
• The "Admission BaselCard" ticket can only be used with a valid BaselCard. Please present your ticket together with the BaselCard at the museum ticket office.
• We kindly ask you to present your "Timed-entry reservation for free admission" or "Timed-entry reservation for reduced admission" ticket together with your ID card or voucher entitling you to free or reduced admission at the museum ticket office, so that you can obtain your ticket at the corresponding rates.
  Members of the Fondation Beyeler (Friends, Art Club, Young Art Club, BEYS), guests with a Fondation Beyeler voucher, RailAway voucher, "Mittwochsgeschenk" from the Riehener Zeitung and members of the Museums-PASS-Musées have direct access to the museum with their ticket and ID card or voucher.

A timed-entry ticket is a time-limited admission ticket for visiting the Fondation Beyeler. When purchasing a museum ticket, the date and time of the visit are selected and specified. The time slots are entered in half-hour intervals. Please arrive at the museum as punctually as possible at your booked time; admission is possible during this half-hour period.
Example: if you have booked an admission ticket for 10 am, you can enter the museum until 10:30 am. There is no limit to the length of your visit. If you are more than 30 minutes late, your ticket will no longer be valid. Please speak to the staff on site, as there may be a wait.

After half an hour, your ticket will no longer be valid. If you arrive at the museum more than half an hour late, please go to the ticket office. There may be a wait.

Please bring your tickets or booking confirmations with you to the Fondation Beyeler, either printed in original size on A4 paper or in digital form. If your ticket contains a QR code, please make sure that it is clearly visible and undamaged. In particular, it must not be creased, dirty or wet, otherwise it cannot be scanned. Smooth entry can only be guaranteed with a clearly visible QR code.

No, your admission ticket gives you access to all rooms of the exhibition. However, as the number of visitors to the exhibition’s two infinity mirror rooms is limited, there may be a wait at the exhibition and in the park.

Yes, a limited number of tickets are also available at the museum ticket office for each time slot. However, as capacity is limited per half-hour slot, there may be a wait. We therefore recommend that you book online tickets in advance. 

No, admission tickets can only be purchased online via our online ticket shop or directly at the museum ticket office. It is not possible to make reservations by email or phone.

It is not possible to issue refunds for online tickets. However, your booking confirmation will inform you of the option to make a cancellation. Cancellation is only possible for museum admission tickets and only for the entire order. It is not possible to cancel individual tickets within an order.

In the event of cancellation, you will receive a voucher for the amount of the cancelled order, which will be sent automatically by email. Once the cancellation process has been initiated, the corresponding online ticket becomes invalid. The voucher can be redeemed with a future order via the online ticket shop or at the museum ticket office. Lost or stolen print@home tickets cannot be replaced.

Due to limited capacity, repeated admission within a single day is unfortunately only possible for individuals in exceptional cases, e.g. for health reasons. Please speak to the staff at the museum entrance.

The Infinity Mirror Rooms are walk-in mirror rooms with light installations and reflective elements that create a feeling of infinity. They are among Yayoi Kusama’s best-known groups of works. The exhibition at the Fondation Beyeler includes an Infinity Mirror Room in the basement of the museum building and another in the park.

As intended by the artist, the Infinity Mirror Room in the park relies on daylight as its natural light source. As darkness falls, the room becomes increasingly darker, changing the visual effect. The Infinity Mirror Room in the park therefore closes at dusk.
