The former convent setting gives this collection a strong connection to the city's religious and urban past. Rather than covering Basel broadly, the museum lets you focus on carved works and historical material in a building that is itself part of the story. It makes a useful indoor counterpart to a walk through Kleinbasel and along the nearby Rhine.
What to look for
Medieval sculpture collection.
Former convent setting in Kleinbasel.
Useful to know
Combine it with a Kleinbasel riverside walk; it sits away from the main Grossbasel museum cluster.
