Basel is the city of museums par excellence, with 40 of them scattered throughout the city. A university reference point for all of Switzerland, it boasts a very charming historic center crossed by the Rhine river and characterized by late Roman and Gothic buildings (such as the Cathedral), which alternate with numerous modern and stylish buildings designed by world-famous architects. There are numerous museums and they are varied in nature, but they mainly focus on the collections of figurative arts ; we will mention only a few: the Kunstmuseum is a museum of ancient and modern art, the Museum of the sculptor Jean Tinguely, the Spielzeug Welten Toy Museum, the Beyeler Foundation based in the structure designed by Renzo Piano and the Musikmuseum, with the largest collection of musical instruments in Switzerland, located in an old prison. An incredible city, waiting to be discovered.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","class_list":["grid-item","post-8753","destinazione","type-destinazione","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
