November 25, 2021 -
This month we have 2 museums in mind - there is time to visit both or you may choose which one you would prefer to visit. We will travel by train to Basel at 8:15 - more details in the confirmation email. The option of lunch is available.
1. We have the exceptional chance to visit the Goya Exhibition in Basel -The Fondation Beyeler presents one of the most significant exhibitions ever devoted to Francisco de Goya (1746–1828). Goya was one of the last great court artists and the first forerunner of modern art.
The exhibition brings together around 70 paintings and more than 100 masterful drawings and prints, inviting viewers on a journey into the beautiful and the unfathomable. For the first time, seldom seen paintings from Spanish private collections are shown alongside key works from the most prestigious European and American museums and private collections.

2. We will visit the Kunstmuseum, Basel, Pissarro, the most distinguished 19th century artist (my favourite impressionist artist).
There will be a guided tour in English to be followed by an optional lunch.
