A
Fondation Beyeler
In the Fondation Beyeler, sculptures by Miró and Max Ernst are juxtaposed against tribal figures from Oceania, while 19th- and 20th-century works from the likes of Picasso and Rothko hang on the walls of this long, low, light-filled, open-plan building by leading Italian architect Renzo Piano. Take tram 6 to Riehen from Barfüsserplatz or Marktplatz.

Schaulager
A kind of art bunker, Schaulager was designed by Herzog & de Meuron. The sharply cornered, mostly white gallery is partly rendered in earth dug out from around the foundations. A huge video screen on the front facade gives you a foretaste of the rolling temporary exhibitions inside. Catch tram 11 from Barfüsserplatz or Marktplatz.
