Works and work groups belonging to all the phases of Jean Tinguely’s career are to be found in the collections. With the addition of temporary loans, they afford the visitor an extensive view of the artist’s career. Apart from sculptures, the collection houses also a large number of drawings and letters-drawings, documents, exhibition posters, catalogues and documentation such as photographs. In the measure of the possible all the exhibits are accessible to the public and regularly shown, be it in the permanent collection or as loans to exhibitions worldwide.
