Art Fribourg honors 100 years of Jean Tinguely
Fribourg is honoring the cultural and social legacy of the Swiss machine artist Jean Tinguely. The Fribourg native would have celebrated his 100th birthday on May 22, 2025. In addition to exhibitions, a cycling race and a public festival are planned in his honor.

On 15 June, the city and canton of Fribourg, together with artists from the canton, are organizing a folk festival under the motto: movement, noise, music, chaos and lots of conviviality. In a cheerful and unconventional atmosphere - just as Tinguely would have loved it - people will come together and celebrate, as the city and canton of Fribourg announced on Monday.
A large parade through the city is planned, which will be led by a machine specially built for the occasion. The Tour de Romandie 2025 will also honor Tinguely with a special stage. This will lead from Basel, where the Tinguely Museum is located, to Fribourg, where it will pass close to the Espace Jean Tinguely-Niki de Saint Phalle.
