Basel Historical Museum – Music Museum

Why go

The collection turns musical history into a close look at the instruments themselves. The former prison setting adds an unusual architectural frame, while the focused subject makes it easier to choose if music is your main interest. Because this is a distinct Historical Museum branch, it works as its own stop rather than an add-on inside the Barfüsserkirche site.

What to look for

• Historic musical instruments.
• Former prison building.

Useful to know

• Plan for this separate Historical Museum branch, not the Barfüsserkirche building.
