About the institution
The Basel Museum of Ancient Art is the only Swiss museum devoted exclusively to the ancient civilizations of the Mediterranean region. The permanent exhibition contains ancient art mainly from Egyptian, Greek, Italic, Etruscan and Roman cultures. Located in the heart of the city of Basel, the museum is a place where the ancient world is regularly cast in a new light.
The Egyptian departement and the departement "Orient, Cyprus and archaic Greece" are closed and will reopen in summer 2013.
THE MUSEUM WILL BE CLOSED FROM THE 21ST OF MAY TO THE 3RD OF JUNE 2013.
