Kunsthaus Baselland Celebrates Opening Weekend at Dreispitz
The contemporary arts community is gathering to mark a major milestone as the Kunsthaus Baselland unveils its new home in the Dreispitz district. The institution has curated a packed weekend of events, welcoming visitors of all ages to explore the new spaces, view inaugural presentations, and take part in hands-on creative sessions.
Exploring the New Spaces and Inaugural Exhibitions
The opening celebrations feature a diverse lineup of introductory talks, live performances, and guided walkthroughs. Visitors stepping into the galleries can join the Kunsthaus team for multilingual guided tours through the comprehensive group exhibition titled “Rewilding.” These brief 30-minute tours are available in German, English, and French, offering direct insights into the featured works.
In addition to the art on display, architecture enthusiasts can learn more about the building itself. Buchner Bründler Architects have shared insights into the design of the new structure through dedicated architectural conversations and building tours.
Family Activities and Creative Workshops at Transbona-Halle
The festivities extend into the nearby Transbona-Halle, hosting a dedicated children's and youth program designed for participants ranging from early childhood to teenagers. Younger visitors can engage in imaginative drop-in workshops, from shaping clay seed balls and crafting cardboard models of their dream arts institution to designing custom stamps and exploring the galleries with a smartphone photography challenge.
