Museum Kleines Klingental
About This Museum
People come to this tucked-away museum not just to escape the city bustle, but to find themselves standing face-to-face with the original stone giants from Basel's medieval cathedral. You can spend ages just marveling at these towering kings and prophets, their weathered faces still full of character after 800 years. The real magic is upstairs in the former nuns' dormitory, where a breathtaking model of 17th-century Basel makes you feel like a giant peering down at the entire city. It’s an intimate and surprisingly personal glimpse into the deep history of this place.
Collection Highlights
The star attractions are definitely the original 13th-century cathedral sculptures and the incredibly detailed historical model of Basel.
Visitor Information
It's in a quiet spot along the Rhine at Unterer Rheinweg 26, easy to miss but so worth seeking out.
Architecture & Building
Housed in a former medieval monastery, so expect charming old stonework and the serene atmosphere of a historic cloister.
