JEWISH MUSEUM

Founded in the year 1966, the Basel Jewish Museum has since collected a historical collection of Jewish religious significance and everyday life fragments. Over the years it has emerged as one of the notable tourist attractions in Basel.

The Museum completed its 50 years in 2016 and added a display of select artefacts like everyday objects, ceremonial objects, fabrics and a Torah ark from a former synagogue's prayer room in Solothurn. Immerse yourself in this cultural journey seamlessly integrated into your Switzerland tour packages, where decades of history and art come alive, offering a captivating exploration of the region's rich heritage.

The Jewish Museum should be visited since, for the first time, a sequential exhibition is introduced to shed light on the Jewish history of Basel and Switzerland. The Museum has preserved Hebrew books that were printed in the Basel printing house, essential documents from the two World Wars, tombstones from the Middle Ages among other materials from the past.
