Ugo Rondinone

Over the Rainbow

May 9 - May 18, 2025

Fondation Beyeler, Basel

On the occasion of this year’s Eurovision Song Contest (ESC), hosted in Basel, the Fondation Beyeler presents “Over the Rainbow”, a special display of its collection. Taking its name from the legendary song in the celebrated musical film The Wizard of Oz (1939), the exhibition is conceived as a tribute to music and to the colourfulness and diversity that characterise the ESC. Ugo Rondinone’s spectacular rainbow light sculpture we are poems (2011) will be installed on the museum’s roof specially for the ESC. For all visitors travelling to the region during the ESC, the exhibition “Northern Lights” further provides a unique opportunity to immerse themselves in the fascinating world of Nordic landscapes. The Fondation Beyeler offers reduced admission from 9 through 18 May 2025.
