Ooh! I’m digging the unicorns and the paper mill (as a former graphic designer). If you’re a museum buff, it looks like Basel is an incredible town!!!

I’m sure you would find exciting things to do in Basel, even if you would look for sports and non-culture type of activities!
Cartoonmuseum is definitely not childish, but it’s true that it can be a fun visit for both kids and adults. Even at Toy Worlds Museum, temporary exhibitions open up the view towards worlds with no toys. So they definitely bring a balance between seriousness and playfulness.
I wish you loads of fun exploring Basel museums!

Kind of sad that a city with so many museums is often considered boring. But to be fair, I have traveled to many Business centralized cities like Houston, Baranquilla, Casablanca, Atlanta, and others. Though they have built a wonderful community with sports, art, and activities, there is just a missing flavor of culture in them!
Now with that said, I do think that the museums you found in Basel do sound quite interesting. I, in particular, like the childish sounding ones like the Cartoonmuseum Basel, the Toy Worlds Museum, and the Pants Pocket Museum (that just sounds cool with all the mini exhibits!)
Definitely sounds like the BASEL CARD is the way to go to save you tons of money with all the museums.

Pharmacy Museum in Basel is high on my list for a reason!
It’s not really just for pharmacy geeks.
It tells so much about us as humans, our endeavors, hopes, beliefs…
Fascinating collection indeed!

Thanks for your comment, Sage!
Yes, Cartoon Museum is definitely one to surprise.
The exhibits change regularly and really open the window wide to this art form!

Hey, Danik!
Thanks for your comment.
But no need to be sad about skipping museums on your last visit.
This only creates more space for creating future opportunities, and these are valid reasons to return!
Good luck!

I love museums and hate to imagine a world without them. One of my favorites that I have visited was the Pharmacy Museum in Virginia. I would definitely want to visit Basel’s too!

I was surprised to read that there are 30 to 40 museums in Basel. I didn’t expect that many. Of all the options you shared, I think I’d be interested in the Cartoon Museum most!

I have been to Basel and I think its a beautiful city (despite it being very industrialised away from the city centre) with the walks along the river and cute buildings and trams in the centre. However on my trip there I didn’t do any museums and now I wish I did my research and done some. Love the one where everything fits in your pocket, I find that idea very quirky. I would defo take my children to the toy museum, they would love that.
