Basel is the cultural capital of Switzerland and one of the most remarkable small cities in the world — a Rhine city of 180,000 inhabitants at the tri-border point where Switzerland, Germany and France meet (the Dreiländereck, where the Rhine bends from east-west to north-south), whose extraordinary density of world-class art museums (36 museums per capita, the highest of any city in the world), its medieval old town, its university (founded 1460, the oldest in Switzerland), and its position as the global capital of the art market (Art Basel, the world's most important contemporary art fair, is held here every June) give it a cultural significance entirely disproportionate to its modest size.
Basel's art museum landscape is exceptional — the Kunstmuseum Basel (the oldest public art museum in the world still in its original building, with the finest collection of Upper Rhenish and German Expressionist painting in Switzerland), the Fondation Beyeler in Riehen (the finest private art museum in Switzerland, with Picasso, Klee, Mondrian and Bacon in a Renzo Piano building of extraordinary serenity), the Museum Tinguely (dedicated to the sculptor Jean Tinguely, in a Mario Botta building), and the Vitra Campus at Weil am Rhein (5km, the world's finest collection of factory architecture by Zaha Hadid, Frank Gehry, Herzog & de Meuron, Tadao Ando and Álvaro Siza) make the Basel region the most architecturally and artistically significant area per square kilometre in Europe. The Basel Minster (Münster, 1019–1500) on its cliff above the Rhine, with its panoramic view over the river into Germany and France simultaneously, is the city's physical and spiritual anchor.
Art Basel and the World's Art Market Capital: Art Basel (held every June) is the world's most important contemporary art fair — over 300 galleries from 40 countries presenting the finest works by artists from Picasso to the present, with subsidiary fairs (Art Basel Design, Unlimited) making the June week the defining event of the international art market calendar. Basel's 36 art museums per capita give it a year-round intensity of art experience unmatched by any comparable city.
Fondation Beyeler and Vitra Campus: The Fondation Beyeler in Riehen (8km, Renzo Piano, 1997) — housing the finest private art collection in Switzerland, with masterworks by Picasso, Monet, Klee, Mondrian, Rothko and Francis Bacon in rooms of extraordinary natural light — and the Vitra Campus at Weil am Rhein (5km across the German border, with factory buildings by Zaha Hadid, Frank Gehry, Herzog & de Meuron, Tadao Ando, Álvaro Siza and Selgas Cano) form the two essential experiences in the Basel art region.
