Fondation Beyerler, Basel, Switzerland

Just outside Basel easily reached by tram number 6 from the city center you find this small but great museum of modern art. For over 50 years the art dealer Mr Ernest Beyeler collected art. He then decided that he needed a place for his collection. He contacted his favorite architect Renzo Piano that has also made the Centre Pompidou in Paris to make this museum to house his private collection. The Fondation Beyerler has a nice collection of Andy Warhol, Giacometti, Monet, Mark Rothco, Calder and Miro among other great names. In the garden there is a nice cafe where you can sit and have a meal or a drink afterwards. A must visit in Basel!
