Built by the artist Jean Tinguely in 1977 in place of the old theatre, this ever-changing fountain is worth a visit, especially in winter time when icicles form on these constantly moving sculptures.

Interesting, moving, fontain created by famous Jean Tinguely at the place where old Theathre's scene was. Gift for Basel's inhibitants who didn't like demolition of old theatre.
