Kulturstiftung Basel H. Geiger – KBH.G

A cultural foundation established to provide the City of Basel with an innovative and unique platform for art and artists.

Spitalstrasse 18, 4056 Basel, Switzerland

Kulturstiftung Basel H. Geiger was founded in 2018 by artist and philanthropist Sibylle Piermattei-Geiger (1930—2020) and her husband Rocco Piermattei-Geiger, who named the foundation after her grandfather, Swiss pharmacist and entrepreneur Hermann Geiger (1870—1962).

The Foundation offers a year-round programme of free-admission exhibitions in a former industrial building in central Basel. The annual programme features around three exhibitions per year, with current cultural and political references as well as art and topical exhibitions, conceived from individual and divergent perspectives.
