The Fernet-Branca Musée d'Art Contemporain sits in Saint-Louis, France, but it belongs naturally to the Basel art orbit. The museum occupies a former Fernet-Branca distillery, so the building gives contemporary exhibitions an industrial backdrop that feels distinct from Basel's cleaner museum architecture.
It is most useful for travellers already spending several days on Basel's art scene and looking beyond the big-name institutions. Check the exhibition programme before crossing the border, because the quality of the visit depends heavily on the current show.
