If you’ve ever associated art with a luxury lifestyle, the Beyeler Fondation will confirm all your assumptions. As a private museum located just outside Basel, it houses the private collection of Ernst and Hildy Beyeler in a tastefully modern villa with floor-to-ceiling glass windows to allow for natural light to illuminate it entirely. Wandering through the museum will make you feel as if you are in their home itself, exploring the mind and aesthetic of the owners. The collection has been shown at several public galleries around the continent, acquiring a sheen of glamour before finally coming to its permanent home in the current museum structure designed by Renzo Piano. For a private collection, the art it houses is incredibly elite and rare: among the works are 23 Picassos and 200 works of classic modernism, which reflect the Beyelers’ love for 20th century artwork. Whether you’re a complete art fanatic or just an ordinary tourist looking for some time to kill, you can’t fail to be impressed by the painstaking care put into this collection!
