The Museum Tinguely is an art museum in Basel, Switzerland that contains a permanent exhibition of the works of Swiss painter and sculptor Jean Tinguely. Located in Solitude Park by the Rhine, the museum was designed by the Ticinese architect Mario Botta and opened on 3 October 1996. In 2007, the museum hosted an exposition on the SI: The International Situationist : 1957 – 1972.

A variety of Tinguely's kinetic art sculptures are on permanent display, complemented with illustrations, photographs and other documents related to the artist's life and work.
