From
until
Every Friday from 3 February to 12 May 2023 the museum will remain open until 9 p.m. and the “Beyeler Restaurant im Park” until 10 p.m. “Friday Beyeler” is an invitation to start the weekend with a leisurely, after-work trip to the museum.

The visitors can discover the works of Wayne Thiebaud in tours, workshops and painting studios. One Friday evening a month will be set aside for a “Night of the Smiling Moons”, a special programme curated by Chus Martinez, head of the Art Gender Nature Institute. The evenings full of music, poetry and dance are a continuation of the collaboration with students from the Institute Art Gender Nature at FHNW Academy of Art and Design in Basel.

The restaurant offers a refined menu on Friday evenings with a particularly large number of vegan and vegetarian options. Further details of the menu are available here: restaurant.fondationbeyeler.ch and reservations are accepted as of 6 p.m. on the Friday of choice.
