The Wenken park is a short bus ride outside of Basel, in the hills. The grounds are gracious and beautifully set out. The gardens are magnificent and this is where Federer chose to hold his wedding. Impeccable taste. Worth a visit.

The Fondation Beyeler is a museum of modern and contemporary art open 365 days a year. It is considered one of the world's most beautiful museums. Its exhibitions of renowned artists of the 19th, 20th, and 21st centuries have brought the museum international recognition and established it as Switzerland's most popular art museum. The focus is the visitor's personal and sensory experiences in encountering art and nature. The art museum is located in an English park with a historical villa, old trees, and water lily ponds. The museum building, designed by award-winning Italian architect Renzo Piano, fits elegantly into the cultural landscape and offers beautiful views of the park.

This museum on the outskirts of Basel was a highlight of our trip to Europe. It can be reached by tram from the centre of Basel and is about 20 min ride. The stop is right outside the door. We were lucky to see the last day or so of the magnificent exhibition of Picasso's 'blue and pink' periods which finished in mid-June. This was a wonderfully rich collection of Picasso paintings from his early period, just before his cubist period. It was thoughtfully displayed and curated. The Rudolph Stingel exhibition is still on and also worth looking at. There are new exhibitions now on display. The museum is a beautiful building and it is worth allowing time to wander around the gardens Look at the triptych by Monet in the reception foyer opposite the bookshop.

Die Gedenkstätte widmet sich denjenigen jüdischen Flüchtlingen, die das Glück hatten, in der Schweiz Aufnahme zu finden. Besonders erinnert wird aber auch an alle jüdischen Flüchtlinge, denen die Schweiz den Einlass verweigerte.
