Art Basel will celebrate its 40th year as the world’s leading international art show this June. 600,000 people attended Art Basel last year including art collectors, art dealers, artists, curators and other art enthusiasts. Even if you do not fit into one of those categories you won’t want to miss “one of the highlights of the cultural calendar each year” according to Christoper Vourlias, a Forbes travel journalist who wrote about last year’s Art Basel.
Basel ranks as a cultural city, with its world-class museums, outdoor sculptures, theaters, concert halls, idyllic medieval old town and new buildings by leading architects. This traditional German-speaking city is situated on the Rhine, and is the inspiration for the art lovers who attend Art Basel; during the week-long art show, the city is infused with excitement for the exhibits, events and converging technologies which have taken place each year since 1969.
