Museen Basel
Description of the Museen Basel:
Welcome to museum city, welcome to Museen Basel! Basel was home to Europe’s first publicly accessible museum, which opened in 1661. Today the museum association Museen Basel comprises 37 museums in the city of Basel and the surrounding urban region. The sheer range of exhibitions on offer is staggering. Subjects covered include international art, natural history, architecture, medicine and much else, and the quality of the collections is high throughout.
Museen Basel is a platform jointly run by the museums and the Canton of Basel Stadt’s division of cultural affairs. It aims to promote museum-related matters as a community and to enhance awareness of Basel as a museum city. Museen Basel is a network that has grown organically both as a brand and a quality label.
The website museenbasel.ch facilitates access to the Basel museum landscape and presents an overview of the exhibitions and events on offer. It also provides information on collective commitments, joint projects, special highlights and the unique flair of Basel as a museum city for the benefit of both inhabitants and visitors.
The website of the institution is set in NN Swinton by Nouvelle Noire.
