Media Release Media Release Basel, 23 September 2016 Museum Tinguely celebrates 20th anniversary Roche reaffirms continues dedication to the museum The Museum Tinguely celebrates its 20th anniversary on Sunday 25 September. It was founded by Roche in 1996 in commemoration of the company's centenary. Roche has fully funded the operation and maintenance of the museum ever since. As well as exhibitions about Jean Tinguely and his associates, the museum has also staged a large number of internationally recognised special exhibitions. More than 2.5 million people have visited the Museum Tinguely since its establishment, underscoring both the great success and the importance of the museum in Basel's cultural landscape. In addition to serving as an exhibition venue, the museum has hosted the monthly Roche 'n' Jazz concert series for more than ten years. "We are delighted that the Museum Tinguely is celebrating 20 successful years", said Jürg Erismann, Head of Roche's Basel/Kaiseraugst site. "Our continued strong dedication to the museum underscores Roche's commitment to the Basel site and reaffirms our engaged patronage of culture and the arts. The museum also represents a significant cultural enrichment for Basel's Wettstein district," Jürg Erismann emphasised. The Museum Tinguely is celebrating its 20th anniversary with a big party. On the final day of the special exhibition "Michael Landy. Out of Order" museum visitors are invited to explore a wide variety of attractions relating to Jean Tinguely and Michael Landy in the museum and Solitude Park. Information about the anniversary event can be found on the museum website at www.tinguely.ch About the Museum Tinguely The Museum Tinguely, founded in 1996 and dedicated to the work of the Swiss metal sculptor Jean Tinguely, is Roche's most substantial commitment to culture. In addition to its permanent exhibition of the machine sculptures and graphic works of Jean Tinguely, who died in 1991, the museum also hosts special exhibitions that give an insight into the art and artists who influenced and were associated with Tinguely, kinetic art and 20th and 21st-century art. Current and past exhibitions have been dedicated to contemporaries of Tinguely such as Niki de Saint Phalle, Yves Klein and Eva Aeppli; to role models such as Marcel Duchamp, Kurt Schwitters and Max Ernst; and to more recent trends in contemporary art that highlight Tinguely's F.

THROUGH MODELS, DRAWINGS, AND PHOTOGRAPHS, IT PRESENTS TWENTY-FIVE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT MUSEUM BUILDING PROJECTS FROM THE PAST TEN YEARS. THE FEATURED PROJECTS — ALL KEY WORKS BY RENOWNED ARCHITECTS — OFFER A PANORAMA OF INTERNATIONAL MUSEUM ARCHITECTURE AT THE OPENING OF THE 21ST CENTURY. Thanks to broad-based public support, MAM is currently in the initial planning phase of its own expansion with Museum Park, the City of Miami’s official urban redesign vision for Bicentennial Park. MAM’s expansion will provide Miami with a 21st-century art museum that will serve as a gathering place for cultural exchange, as well as an educational resource for the community, and a symbol of Miami’s role as a 21st-century city. In the last decade, Miami has quickly become known as the Gateway of the Americas. Despite this unique cultural and economic status, Miami remains the only major city in the United States without a world-class art museum. The Museum Park project realizes a key goal set by the community when MAM was established in 1996.
