"Built by leading Ticino architect Mario Botta, this museum showcases the playful, mischievous and downright wacky artistic concoctions of sculptor-turned-mad scientist Jean Tinguely." Full review

"The path follows the development of the artist's work from the 50s to the 80s finishes at the Grosse Méta Maxi-Maxi Utopia (1987), a major work." Full review

"The central hall alone houses 20 huge machine-sculptures in a handsome, hangar-like structure purpose-built next to the Rhine by Ticino architect Mario Botta." Full review

"Museum Tinguely is the most interesting if you’re travelling with kids: it houses the single largest collection of works by Swiss sculptor Jean Tinguely, whose noisy kinetic sculptures made from scrap metal are chaotic and joyful all at once"

"The museum is dedicated to the work of Jean Tinguely, one of Switzerland's greatest sculptors...the museum itself is a delight. All four levels are alive with the clean notes of working machinery." Full review
