Touching, writing, printing—Basel’s heritage becomes interactive living art today. The Basler Papiermühle (Swiss Museum for Paper, Writing and Printing) is housed in a medieval mill beside the St. Alban pond, inviting visitors on a sensorial journey through 500 years of papermaking, typography, and bookbinding. Through hands-on workshops, you can make your own paper, print on historic presses, practice calligraphy, and explore marbling—all within an authentically restored industrial setting.
