Who knows if Jean Tinguely would have believed you had you told him that his creations would once be housed in such noble rooms? The building was opened by Mario Botta in 1996, and is sponsored by the local chemical company Hoffman La Roche. Even the garden houses work by Tinguely in the shape of a fountain. A bigger version can be found on the Theaterplatz. Tinguely loved to make things and the museum is full of his moving machine sculptures, and sculptures that you can sometimes walk through! Children and adults alike love this museum and various exhibitons, which highlight work by other artists similar to Tinguely complement the permanent exhibits.
