Museum Tinguely is a unique and playful museum, dedicated to the life and artworks of Jean Tinguely. It was opened in 1996 and features kinetic, interactive displays with mechanical artworks that often move or make noise. His art often has social commentary and meaningful messages, adding a deeper, thought-provoking element to the otherwise lighthearted and fun experience.
Tickets to the museum usually cost 18 Francs for adults, and entrance is free for anyone under 16. The museum, along with its notable interactive displays, also has family-friendly workshops and temporary shows. Unlike most museums you'll visit, in the Museum Tinguely it's encouraged to touch the sculptures, press buttons and interact with the artworks the way it was intended. This experience is great for anyone, families with young children, or even a solo traveller.
Getting to Museum Tinguely is actually faster by train, so that's the best method of transport. Start by walking to the Universitätsspital for 280 meters, then take the Wyhlen Siedlung for 7 stops until you reach directly at the museum!
