TINGUELY FOUNTAIN

The Tinguely fountain was the creation of Jean Tinguely, a Swiss artist in the year 1977. The design of the fountain was laid on the site of the old theatre stage as a homage. The fountain since its creation has always ceased to amaze the visitors, becoming a landmark in Basel.

Jean Tinguely lined a shallow basin with black asphalt and then placed nine-iron sculptures that spouted water. All these figures are powered by low-voltage current, which gives them constant movement and toing and froing. During winters, these figures become frozen in ice which looks just as stunning as them in motion, making it one of the top tourist attractions in Basel. A must-visit on your Switzerland tour, the Tinguely Fountain in Basel stands as a captivating blend of art, technology, and seasonal enchantment, making it a year-round delight for visitors.
