Cartoonmuseum Basel – Centre for Narrative Art is Switzerland’s only museum devoted entirely to narrative drawing—from comics to caricatures to graphic novels—curated across a historic Gothic building and modern extension by Herzog & de Meuron. Situated on St. Alban‑Vorstadt, it showcases rotating exhibitions by both well‑known and emerging international artists exploring social, political, and artistic themes through humour and storytelling ([cartoonmuseum.ch
Open to the public from Tuesday through Sunday each week, its visiting hours run from 11 am until 5 pm. The museum remains closed on Mondays. Special arrangements, including guided tours or group visits, may be possible outside of these hours by prior appointment.
