Meet the Institutions | Kunstmuseum Basel
Opening to the public over 350 years ago, the Kunstmuseum Basel is a living symbol of Baslers’ love of art. Its program unfolds over three striking venues – the Hauptbau, Neubau, and Gegenwart – that are located by the Rhine and operate like ‘three parts of a single organism’s body’, says director Josef Helfenstein. The Kunstmuseum Basel’s collections range from Pre-Renaissance painting to installations by Modern and contemporary artists. Yet far from relying on such riches, the museum constantly strives to offer visitors new perspectives on its holdings.

Visiting BASEL 3 | The Christmas markets in Basel, Switzerland (a walking tour)
CLICK HERE TO WATCH ALL MY BASEL VIDEOS:
Mulled wine, Christmas music, twinkling lights and enticing aromas – nothing could be more special than enjoying the magical run-up to Christmas with your nearest and dearest at one of the many Christmas markets in Basel. In this video, I'll show you them!
Basel or Basle, French: Bâle; Italian: Basilea; Romansh: Basilea, is a city in northwestern Switzerland on the river Rhine. Basel is Switzerland's third-most-populous city (after Zürich and Geneva) with about 180,000 inhabitants.
Located where the Swiss, French and German borders meet, Basel also has suburbs in France and Germany. As of 2016, the Swiss Basel agglomeration was the third-largest in Switzerland, with a population of 541,000 in 74 municipalities in Switzerland (municipal count as of 2018). The initiative Trinational Eurodistrict Basel (TEB) of 62 suburban communes including municipalities in neighboring countries, counted 829,000 inhabitants in 2007.
The official language of Basel is (the Swiss variety of Standard) German, but the main spoken language is the local Basel German dialect.
The city is known for its many internationally renowned museums, ranging from the Kunstmuseum, the first collection of art accessible to the public in Europe (1661) and the largest museum of art in the whole of Switzerland, to the Fondation Beyeler (located in Riehen). The University of Basel, Switzerland's oldest university (founded in 1460), and the city's centuries-long commitment to humanism, have made Basel a safe haven at times of political unrest in other parts of Europe for such notable people as Erasmus of Rotterdam, the Holbein family, Friedrich Nietzsche and in the 20th century also Hermann Hesse and Karl Jaspers.

Jean Tinguely's Four Méta-Harmonie Music Machines at Museum Tinguely, Basel
Swiss artist Jean Tinguely’s sculptures always have an acoustic dimension, which was consciously composed and balanced by Tinguely as part of the works. They generate noises, sounds, and apparently random music. This musical side reached a climax with the four Méta-Harmonie music machines between 1978 and 1985. The exhibition “Music Machines / Machine Music” provides the unique opportunity to experience these large-scale and versatile sound boxes, which are at home in Karuizawa (Japan), Vienna, and Basel, in dialog with one another. The four artworks form the stage for a broadly defined program of events and concerts devoted to the theme of mechanical music, which includes artists such as Zimoun, Bianca Hildenbrand, Eliza Coolidge, Timothy Severo, Thom Luz and others. This video has its focus on Jean Tinguely's four Méta-Harmonie music machines. This video is an excerpt, the full-length version is available at
Music Machines / Machine Music at Museum Tinguely, Basel. Press preview, October 18, 2016.

Madelon Vriesendorp / Talk at the Swiss Architecture Museum, Basel
According to Swiss curator and art critic Hans Ulrich Obrist, Madelon Vriesendorp is an “almost unknown artist genius”. The exhibition The World of Madelon Vriesendorp at the Swiss Architecture Museum aims to redress this discrepancy and situate Vriesendorp in her rightful place within late 20th century culture. This video documents the talk Madelon Vriesendorp held on the evening of the Basel Museum Night, with an introduction by co-curator Shumon Basar.
Madelon Vriesendorp is one of the founding members of the OMA Office for Metropolitan Architecture in 1975 (together with Rem Koolhaas and Elia and Zoe Zenghelis).
For impressions of the opening reception, click here. Coming soon: Shumon Basar in conversation with Madelon Vriesendorp.

A Canton Divided: 7 Facts about Basel-Landschaft
In this video you can find 7 little known facts about Basel Landschaft. Keep watching and subscribe, as more episodes will follow!
You can now support this channel via Patreon, by accessing the link bellow. Thank you!
Social Media:
------------------------------------------------
More information about the video content bellow:
1. The canton of Basel-Landschaft is one of the 26 cantons of Switzerland. The Canton of Basel Land at the gates of the city of Basel boasts a variety of beautiful landscapes, impressive natural and cultural jewels. There is a lot to discover in the region of Basel, whether one travels in the footsteps of the Romans, cruises on the Rhine, or undertakes a biking tour in the Jura.
2. The lands of the canton Basel-Landschaft are part of the lands acquired by the city of Basel. Until the end of the 16th century, most of the canton's land belonged to the city of Basel. The country was economically dependent on the city, most probably because of the low level of education in the agricultural areas at the time. After 1830 there were political quarrels and armed conflict in the canton of Basel. Some of these were concerned with the rights of the population in the agricultural areas. They ultimately led to the separation of the canton Basel-Landschaft from the city of Basel on 26 August 1833. Since then, there has been a movement for reunification. This movement gained momentum after 1900 when many parts of Basel-Landschaft became industrialized. The two half cantons agreed in principle to merge, but in 1969 the people of Basel-Landschaft voted down a referendum on this proposal in favour of retaining their independence.
3. In Roman times, the area of Basel was a centre of Roman activity. There are well-preserved remains at the site of Augusta Raurica in the canton of Basel-Landschaft. Around 200 AD there were about 20,000 people living in this city, now part of the much smaller Augst. The remains are on display in an open-air museum. The museum attracts over 140,000 visitors per year. Many of these visitors are schoolchildren from other parts of Switzerland. The site of Augusta Raurica includes the best-preserved amphitheatre north of the Alps, and a reconstructed Roman villa.
4. Liestal is the capital of Liestal District and the canton of Basel-Landschaft. The name Liestal was first mentioned in 1225, and the settlement dates at least from Roman times. The Depot of Archeology of Basel-land, the Frenkenbrücke (bridge), the Munzach which was a Roman farmhouse, the Roman aqueduct and the Cantonal Archive of Basel-Landschaft are listed as Swiss heritage site of national significance. The entire old town of Liestal is listed in the Inventory of Swiss Heritage Sites.
5. On the Sunday night after Mardi Gras, Chienbäse is celebrated with a spectacular parade and bonfires, from which the celebration takes its name. The tradition goes back at least to the 16th century. Other towns in the neighborhood also celebrate in a similar manner.
6. In 2013, Basel-Landschaft had 281,112 inhabitants, 18.1% of whom were foreigners. Most of the residents are German-speaking. The most populated church in the Evangelical Lutheran Church was 43% of the population in 2000 and 32% of the Catholic. Between 1959 and 1970, the population in this canton increased the most; practically doubled from 108 thousand to 205 thousand.
7. The Jura mountain chain traverses the canton. The name Jura is derived from juria, a Latinized form of a Celtic stem jor- forest. The mountain range gives its name to the French department of Jura, the Swiss Canton of Jura, the Jurassic period of the geologic timescale, and the Montes Jura of the Moon.

Basel, Switzerland Travel Video
Basel is Switzerland's oldest university city. Historic landmarks of the city include the large market square with its richly decorated red sandstone town hall and the late Romanesque-Gothic cathedral. During a walk through the old town, past small boutiques, antique book shops but also shops of modern designers, a visit to the Läckerli Huus to try the traditional Basel honey cake is well worth your while. Basel is tradition-conscious and open-minded at the same time, a fact born out by several modern buildings designed by renowned architects such as Herzog & de Meuron, Mario Botta, Diener & Diener and Richard Meyer.
Almost 40 museums make Basel the city with the highest density of museums in the country. Internationally known museums, such as the Basel Art Museum, the museum devoted to the iron sculptor Jean Tinguely, the Fondation Beyeler and the Museum of Cultures attract a great many visitors, as do several galleries and playhouses. Basel is among other things home to the symphony orchestra and the chamber orchestra as well as the musical theatre featuring international productions. And a wide range of classical and contemporary productions are shown on the stages of the Basel Theatre and the Playhouse.
Light Frieze - New Building of the Kunstmuseum Basel
For the new building of the Kunstmuseum Basel, the engineers and media designers at iart, together with architects Christ & Gantenbein, have developed a light frieze that sublty enlivens the building's brick facade. This video was filmed during the testing phase of the facade in spring 2016.

The Lällekönig or Lällenkönig is a larger than long head of painted copper sheet with a crown. The original was attached to the Basel Rhine Gate near the Middle Bridge , thus sticking its tongue out to the newcomers. He had a mechanism that made him roll his eyes four times a minute and stick his tongue out, which gave him his name: Lälli is a Basle-German word for tongue. The mechanism was originally powered by the work of the tower clock, later the king got his own drive. Over time, the Lällekönig was something of a Stadtwahrzeichen.
