Museum Klingental

Museum Klingental is an art museum in Basel housed in a medieval building on the bank of the small Rhine. The museum presents exhibitions with artworks from various periods and objects that document the city's cultural development.

The building was originally a Dominican convent called Klingental, founded during the medieval period. Over time the convent was repurposed and now serves as an art museum that preserves religious and secular art treasures from the region.

The museum displays works by local artists and objects that tell the story of Basel's art history. Visitors can see how the artistic style of the region has evolved over time.

The museum is easily accessible and located in a convenient area of the city. Visitors should allow enough time for the various exhibition areas, as the building spans multiple levels.

The museum houses original medieval sculptures that originally came from Basel Minster and no longer fit there. These works demonstrate masterful craftsmanship and are important witnesses to the region's religious art tradition.
