Museum Tinguely: reopening 12 May

Museum Tinguely is to reopen from tomorrow, 12 May 2020, and we are already looking forward to welcoming you again live and in person.

The exhibition «Amuse-bouche. The Taste of Art» has been extended until Sunday, 26 July 2020. We were fortunate in that all our lenders agreed to let us hold onto their works for those critical extra weeks. In addition, we will let you know about our forthcoming exhibition projects «Pedro Reyes. Return to Sender» and «Taro Izumi. Ex» more detailed very soon.

COVID-19 Protection Concept
Our museum is to reopen subject to a carefully planned Covid-19 Protection Concept and in full compliance with both federal and cantonal requirements and the recommendations of the Swiss Museums Association. The purpose of these measures is to protect both the visitors and our staff as effectively as possible against infection. We recommend to plan the visit right away by making use of our online ticketing service. The specials that originally formed part of the show «Amuse-bouche» have been individually reorganised. The «personal degustation kit» flanking your tour of the show will therefore be presented to the visitors at the ticket desk. The permanent collection is also to reopen, meaning that nothing now stands in the way of a visit to #museumtinguely.

Group tours and all events, like for example our special visitor-work interactions, have unfortunately had to be cancelled until further notice. But our Solitude Park beckons and invites you to stay before or after your museum visit. The bistro «Chez Jeannot» is also set to reopen on 12 May.

TINGUELY@HOME
During the lockdown, we sent out a total of eight editions of our TINGUELY@HOME newsletter with various digital offers for young and old with topics about #museumtinguely and its programme. No further editions are planned at present. After so many weeks in quarantine we are looking forward to a return to normality and hope that in future we will be able to enjoy art even outside our own four walls. As a matter of course, we will continue working on our digital offering.

Please find below the video where Annja Müller-Alsbach, curator of the exhibition «Amuse-bouche. The Taste of Art» invites you to have a look at the reawakened exhibition in the hope that once you have had a foretaste of it, you will want to savour it in person at the museum and report on your impressions.
