Museum Tinguely

The machine sculptures engage in a loud and multi-coloured conversation with the onlooker: Through his works, Jean Tinguely communicates and interacts with the spectator. The machine functions and becomes art. Tinguely’s artworks sparkle with wit, vitality, irony and poetry. Special exhibitions: Tinguely@Tinguely - A new look at Jean Tinguely's work; as well as some beautifull installations from the Lithuanian artist Zilvinas Kempinas:  "Slow Motion".
