When you have your pick of excellent European museums, this one doesn't really stand out. They have some lovely collections and a beautiful building, but the full admission can go up to 21 chf. Use one of the multitude of Swiss or city passes available and save yourself the money.... Especially if you're going to be in Switzerland for awhile... More

I was so impressed by the scope of the collection here. We spent hours in the classical painting section. The modern section was mobbed so we skipped it. I am sure that it was similarly impressive. We did go to the special Renoir exhibit, and it was crowded. Plus they bring in tours with guides and portable chairs. When they... More

There really is a great collection in here, not the biggest though. Drop by of an afternoon or early evening to enjoy it when it's less busy. Although avoid the cafe, bad service and food, much much better choices nearby. More

There is so much to see and do in Basal but this was one of the best. The current Renoir special exhibition is brilliant and we were grateful for the headphones with English commentary. The great surprise in this attractive, not-too-large museum is that it has an amazing collection of the best of the best works of modern sculpture and... More

The Renoir collection was being shown which is a treasure unto itself but once we were finished that part of the exhibition we were amazed at the amazing collection that this museum has obtained. The architecture of this building is to be enjoyed also. A must do if you come to Basel. More

Museum is easy to get to, as there is a tram stop very close. Well organised, and a wonderful selection of paintings More

It's a typical mix and match gallery. Strange modern art, slightly boring religious art (that you might like) but you can see some lovely Picassos there too! More
