The museum is housed in the rooms of the former Klingental Dominican convent. It displays original medieval sculptures from Basel Cathedral. Here you can come face to face with the fantastic gargoyles of the cathedral towers or the Three Kings at eye level. A model of the city as it looked in the 17th century clearly shows how much Basel's old town has changed. The medieval monastery is also highlighted. The museum also regularly organizes special exhibitions dedicated to various aspects of Basel's art and cultural history. Guided tours, concerts and lectures are offered on a regular basis. Literature on the Middle Ages and casts of cathedral sculptures can be purchased in the museum store.
