If you are as artsy-fartsy as I am and you are interested in seeing paintings by a certain someone who cut his ear off called Vincent Van Gogh, I warmly recommend the following to you:
From the 26th April to the 27th September, 2009 the Kunstmuseum Basel will exhibition 70 landscape paintings by the infamous Dutch post-impressionist artist. Some of the paintings are world-known, others have never been revealed to the general public before, which makes it all the more interesting. Along with Van Gogh’s works, 40 paintings by contemporaries like Gauguin, Cézanne and Pissarro will be presented. Additionally, the exhibition is said to be “the most important European art event in 2009″. To sum it all up: Don’t miss this!

If you pass by to see the exhibition, make sure to pass by in Riehen in the Fondation Beyeler, which has a magnificent collection too!
Thanks a lot for the advice!
basel sure is the place to be to see great collections/exhibitions and if the foundation beyeler is what i think it is then it’s worth the detour alone for the great architecture and tiny parc!
It most definitely is
