Scope: An art fair with a selection of eccentric artworks. Every year, they choose colorful materials and exhibit lots of 3D works (sculpture). A virtual tour is available on its website to re-visit the exhibition. 

Photo Basel: This exhibition, which started 2 years ago, is becoming popular and focuses only on photography. Printed 2D works have depth and tell stories.

Art Basel offers an opportunity to get together for creators and artists from all over the world. It is not only a place that allows visitors to experience artworks but also a place that connects people. This once-in-a-lifetime encounter with art and people stimulates visitors and creates precious experiences. Why not visit Art Basel?
