Kunsthalle Basel

Public Tandem-Tour, S AM & Kunsthalle Basel, in German

12 March 2023 | 3.00 PM - 4.00 PM

Culture under one roof

Kunsthalle Basel and S AM Schweizerisches Architekturmuseum are united not only by a common roof but also by their mutual enthusiasm for art, culture, and society. They unite contemporary artistic positions with current topics related to architecture and urban development. In these joint tours, these synergies will be made tangible, interfaces will be drawn, and differences and meanings for society will be discussed based on the two current exhibitions: "LuYang Vibratory Field" by LuYang and "Make Do With Now: New Directions in Japanese Architecture".

Meeting point: Foyer Kunsthalle Basel
Registration is not required.
