Fine Arts Museum Basel

The Basel Museum of Fine Arts is the oldest municipal art museum in Europe. The main museum houses the original "Death of Christ" by Holbein and works donated by Picasso. The new museum (Neubau) focuses on installation art and avant-garde experimental exhibitions. It is recommended to make an appointment for a limited-time special exhibition seat on the official website in advance. Coats and backpacks can be stored in the museum. There is an interactive workshop on the basement floor, and there are sketching experiences every day. It is just a short walk from the SBB train station. When passing through the medieval arcade, you can pay attention to the contemporary art installations hanging on the outer wall. The Museum Restaurant in the museum uses local ingredients to reproduce the recipes in Klee's paintings. You need to email in advance to make a reservation. The handmade chocolate shop on Spalenberg Street nearby is recommended as a resting point after the exhibition, which is within walking distance. Please note that shops in Switzerland are closed on Sundays. It is recommended to prepare cash or exchange change in advance.
