• Book a timed slot online, free tickets included: entry runs in half-hour slots, you have 30 minutes to arrive, and there is no limit on how long you stay
• Tram stop at the gate, since the Fondation Beyeler stop on trams 2 and 6 is right there, about 18 minutes from Basel Badischer Bahnhof
• Family tours and workshops run on some Sundays and Wednesdays, mostly in German, so check the With Children program before you go

Fondation Beyeler is an art museum in a park, with buildings by Renzo Piano and Peter Zumthor and a collection of over 500 works of modern and contemporary art. Big windows look out over ponds, old trees and fields.

Outside, sculptures by Alexander Calder, Louise Bourgeois and others stand among the trees, and Jenny Holzer's benches double as seats. Suits kids happy to look rather than touch.
