The museum is located in the original medieval building of the former Dominican Cloister Klingental on the Klein-Basel bank of the Rhine. In these historical rooms Romanesque and Gothic sculptures from the Basel Minster and a model of the city of Basel in the 17th century are on display. The history of the Cloister is also presented here. Regular special exhibitions with complementary events showcase regional art and cultural history.
