The Jewish Muse­um Will Move to Vesal­gas­se 5.

The Jewish Muse­um of Switz­er­land is moving into a new, lar­ger buil­ding at the Vesal­gas­se 5, 4051 Basel. The new loca­ti­on will house the per­ma­nent and tem­po­ra­ry exhi­bi­ti­ons, the work­shop and event rooms, the libra­ry and the office.

The muse­um’s sup­port­ing orga­ni­sa­ti­on, the Asso­cia­ti­on for the Jewish Muse­um of Switz­er­land, has signed a long-term lea­se for the buil­ding, which was built in the nine­te­enth cen­tu­ry as a tob­ac­co warehouse.
