This is a rather unique place. I am generally not a fan of contemporary design but this museum…read morealmost made me a convert. The arrangements were quite appealing and presented delightful ideas with respect to the use of space. The synergy of the pieces used was striking at times. Some of the displays on the side of the building that faced the pastoral surroundings across the road were very relaxing in their presentations. The wall-length windows allowed one to look out over the bucolic environs. You'll be tempted to sit all day staring out the window in those corners of the museum as they are intrinsically relaxing, playing to something seminal in the human spirit. The arrangement inspired by Alice in Wonderland was particularly memorable as it was undoubtedly one of the more peculiar designs on display. Eccentricity certainly comes to mind when in that portion of the museum. The verbiage providing historical perspectives relative to the evolution of design ideas was also of interest. If you are in the Basel area and have some time, this place is worth a visit, even if you're not particularly an interior design buff. It will only take 60 - 90 minutes to stroll through at a casual pace. If you are so inclined, there is also a nice café where you can get a coffee and sweet treat (or even lunch) to add to the enjoyment of your visit.

Wow what a gem! It's a little work to get here and it is outside of town.

The site is actually a collection of world class architecture literally set in a field in the middle of no where. The main museum hosts rotating exhibits focused on various designers. It is a wonderful space for that. There is a nearby restaurant and also a custom house where u can order vitra furniture. If uv ever wonder what all those iconic modern designs are. This is the place to learn how an Eames chair got to well an Eames chair ;-) While out of the way if ur visiting basel it is well worth the trip.

The old teddy bears, dolls and doll houses were my favorite. The building is beautifully kept, easy to navigate and has a clean restroom on every floor.

It's truly amazing. We started at the top and made our way downwards. The top floor is filled with bears, bears, and more bears. Older bears are almost freaky but very cool. It's followed by several floors of miniatures, including an entire village that wrap around several walls. The functional mechanical toys have a button that you can press to activate. Very, very fun to watch. They also had a special exhibit going on about corsets. Not sure why the subject, but very well displayed nonetheless. They don't allow a standalone camera but mobile phone cameras are ok. My photos are only a tiny portion of their collection. Go check them out! This museum is right in old town, very easy to find.
