Haus zum Kirschgarten

Why go

This Historical Museum branch uses interiors and objects to make domestic history tangible. Instead of following a broad civic timeline, you move through rooms arranged around the furnishings and habits of an affluent household. It is especially useful if you want to understand Basel's social history through spaces people inhabited, rather than through monuments seen from the street.

What to look for

• Furnished eighteenth- and nineteenth-century rooms.
• Historic household interiors.

Useful to know

• This is a separate Historical Museum site on Elisabethenstrasse.
