Forty museums in only 40 sq. km - no other Swiss city has such a concentration of cultural sensations. Museum buildings by acclaimed architects have endowed the beautifully preserved old city with exciting contrast: to the fore are the Schaulager (an art storage & exhibition space) by Basel`s star architects Herzog & de Meuron, Renzo Piano`s Fondation Beyeler and the Vitra Design Museum by Californian architect Frank O. Gehry. This cathedral city on the Rhine also boasts Europe`s oldest art museum, and Art Basel, a major event in the art world, attracts and enthrals a huge public every year.
