Fountains of Basel

Volume 7, Issue 183; 08 Oct 2004; last modified 08 Oct 2010

There are a lot of fountains in Basel.

Dan assures me that Kansas City is the “City of Fountains”. I don’t doubt it, but Basel has its fair share of fountains as well. There seemed to be one on nearly every corner.

This fountain, behind Elisabethen Kirche, contains Tinguely, or Tinguely-inspired, kinetic sculptures. There’s a whole Tinguely museum in Basel.
