This modern exhibition provides information on the history of the Rhine and shipping, the importance of logistics in Basel, and the operations of the Port of Basel. In the exhibition, you’ll find numerous models of ships and the entire port area, as well as various films, display cases, and touch tables. Our audio guide tells 15 exciting stories about the port and its people. Special exhibition drawers have been set up for young children. In addition, the “Find Me in the Museum” quiz is available, inviting elementary school-aged children to explore the museum in an exciting and educational way. During regular opening hours, you can experience the state-of-the-art ship navigation simulator in demonstration mode. Visit the museum on your own or book one of our many private guided tours. We look forward to your visit.
