4. Jean Tinguely Museum

Reviewed By RCSColumbus - Columbus, United States
We had never heard of Jean Tinguely before visiting Basel but we were so smitten by his amazing Carnival Fountain downtown that we were curious to see more. The Museum Tinguely is a beautiful piece of architecture, perfectly designed to display the kinetic sculptures the artist is best known for. Some are as large as an entire gallery; some you can walk through; virtually all can be activated at the press of a button. Whether you come away appreciating him as an artist or not you will certainly fall for his incredible blend of engineering, mechanical whimsy and pure imagination. Who else would ever think to weld all of these found objects into such lively contraptions? Some even seem to have personalities. You can't help but smile and even laugh out loud at a few of them. My wife, daughter and I were mesmerized as were all the other visitors we saw at the museum that day.
5. The Rosengart Collection
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 747 reviews
The private collection of Lucerne art dealer Angela Rosengart is open to the public since spring 2002. Over 200 important paintings and drawings by more than twenty world famous 19th and 20th century masters (Cezanne, Monet, Matisse, Picasso, Klee, Miro and many others) are on display in a neo-classical building specially remodelled for this purpose. Near the railway station.

This collection was unexpectedly excellent. They have a 35 minute video which is worth watching to learn how the family put together their collection, describing their friendship with many famous artists like Picasso. A gem for art lovers.

Switzerland’s most-visited museum is a place to experience the history of road-, rail, water- and air-borne mobility, as well as that of space travel.

Meanwhile, the country’s largest, most modern Planetarium offers 360-degree flights to the stars. The Red Bull Media World is where you’ll unearth new communication trends. And discover how famous Swiss chocolate is made from cocoa beans at the Swiss Chocolate Adventure visitor experience.

Even if you are travelling without children, there are a lot of fun things to do. Coming from an edutainment background, we really appreciate a museum with lots of hands on activities. The place is segmented into different transportation types, starting with locomotives. In each sections, there aren't just panels to read and buttons to press. There were simulators - the air craft simulator looks fun, it turned 360 degrees, games - there was one screen where you have to try to load a container onto a train, slides! Many other science museums can learn a lot from here. If you're bringing children, half a day may not be enough but fret not as there are restaurants inside.

Special interest museum features a historic variety of play objects including dolls, dollhouses, Teddy bears, carrousels and miniatures from all over the world.
Reviewed By king3434 - Edinburgh, United Kingdom
This is an incredibly entertaining museum. It’s maybe more geared at adult visitors looking for some history rather than families looking for an interactive day out. The layout is hilarious: a floor of teddy bears followed by a floor of handbags. With the Basel card, the entrance fee is very affordable.
