Enthusiastic tourists look at the artifacts with interest, and indifferent gallops run through the exhibition halls, tick off and rush to the next item of the program.
In the halls of the Historical Museum are collected church relics, antique stained-glass windows, rare furniture, textiles, coins. From these exhibits you can trace the whole history of Basel.
Another important museum - Artistic ("Kunstmuseum"), it demonstrates the best masterpieces of world art of 17-20 centuries. Old masters (Cranach the elder, Rubens, Rembrandt), Impressionists (Van Gogh, Cezanne), Cubists and Surrealists (Picasso, Mondrian, Dali) - the names are impressive, and the pictures make them stay behind them.
It is difficult to ignore the Museum of Jean Tangli. Despite the rather uneasy idea that the author wanted to convey to the viewer, visiting this exhibition hall will surely please the children. The museum is filled with outlandish mechanical sculptures, many of them reach incredible dimensions, and some even are capable of changing shape.
But according to the local residents, if only one of the diversity of Basel museums is chosen, then it must necessarily be the Beyeler Foundation Gallery. Thanks to its exceptional collection of paintings of famous masters of the 20th century, the museum will become a real decoration for your journey.
