The oldest Jewish museum in the German-speaking world, founded in 1966 and now housed in a handsome building in the old town. The collection covers the history of Jewish life in Switzerland — Basel hosted the first Zionist Congress in 1897 — with ritual objects, historical documents, and thoughtful temporary exhibitions. The city's main synagogue is close by on Leimenstrasse.
