Basel’s exquisite art museum houses an impressive permanent collection of 19th and 20th century works, including a whole room filled with masterpieces by Picasso, as well as an extensive collection of medieval and renaissance paintings from European artists (Hans Baldung Grien, Hans Holbein, among others). Under the same umbrella, but in a separate building, at St. Alban-Rheinweg 60 (10 minute walk from the main facility), which focuses – as the German name says – on contemporary art. Along with the Beyeler Foundation (see below), both collections e must-sees for art lovers. No photography.
