Description Destination

In the Basel paper mill, functioning workshops and exhibitions on the history of technology come together in a lively way. The museum takes visitors on a tour over four floors through the history of paper, writing and printing and offers visitors an experience for all the senses: making your own sheet of paper, writing with a goose quill or typewriter, setting and printing a text in lead letters and experimenting with colors in the marbling workshop are all part of every museum visit.
In the museum's factory, customer orders and products for sale in the museum shop are produced before the eyes of visitors, some on machines that are over 100 years old.
The museum's collection, which is of European importance, and the experimental and practical approach to historical working techniques make the museum an internationally recognized center of excellence.

      In the Basel paper mill, young and old can get active themselves: making, setting and printing paper, writing with pen and ink and experimenting with bright colors in the marbling workshop.

      During a visit to the museum, you can look over the shoulders of the craftsmen in the museum's internal papermaking, printing and bookbinding workshops.
