The Museum für Gegenwartskunst unites works of the Kunstmuseum Basel (Museum of Fine Art) and the Emanuel Hoffmann Foundation. The Museum in St. Alban-Tal, which was opened in 1980, shows an extensive, internationally-oriented collection of contemporary art from the 1960s up to the present day.

Emphases are on the work of Joseph Beuys, Bruce Nauman, Rosemarie Trockel, Jeff Wall and contemporary American art (Robert Gober, Elizabeth Peyton, and Matthew Barney). Since 1971, the museum has been collecting video art in addition to the classical media. At regular intervals, the museum presents special exhibitions and educational events for schoolchildren as well as adults.
