Day of Museums in Basel
If you can’t make the trip with the Art & Culture group in December, here’s another opportunity to see the Yayoi Kusama exhibit at the Fondation Beyeler on January 22, 2026. Tickets for admission are CHF 30 each and must be purchased in advance as they are likely to sell out. Some of us are also going to the newly reopened Jewish Museum.
Details
We will depart Gare Cornavin at 07:54 on the IR15 train direction Luzern, arriving at Basel Bad Bf at 11:12. We will take sandwiches and snacks to eat on the train because we’re planning to have a late lunch. From Basel Bad Bf we will take a tram to Fondation Beyeler. We are buying tickets with an 11:30 entry time slot. We are planning to purchase audio guides (available in English, German and French). The cost is CHF 8 if you use the museum’s device; CHF 5 if you use your smartphone and headphones.
From Fondation Beyeler we will have lunch at Tibits, then head to the Jewish Museum. We are planning to catch the train back to Geneva from Basel SBB at 17:28, arriving at Cornavin at 20:33.
Members are welcome to join in for any or all of the activities. Please contact Jill at jillmeron@gmail.com or Ali at aiwccommunications@gmail.com with questions.
