Antikenmuseum Basel und Sammlung Ludwig

A great museum and selection of different eras and the Egyptian one is super. The balance between What’s on display. The staff are nice. They also have a nice patio and gift shop. Definitely it’s a must visit when in Basel.

Great museum in a historic building. Great use of the space. The woman at the ticket counter was very helpful and spoke English very well. She made sure we had any information we needed and understood that the top floors close earlier than the lower floors, so recommended we start there. Great advice!

It is an extraordinary museum and well worth a visit, particularly the Egyptian exhibit. The audioguide explains many items and is really helpful; unluckily we had problems hearing it  when we were in the Egyptian section as it is underground (both Wi-Fi and the phone connection didn't work): we had to come up the ramp and upload it there. There are some rare and exceptional items, so well preserved. Do not miss the dedication on a hand mirror gifted from a father to his daughter, that was so astonishing. A good bargain is the booklet "101 Masterpieces" which you can get for 5 fr. ; it's a piece of the museum that you can take home.

The Antikenmuseum Basel und Sammlung Ludwig is a place of great significance for archaeology and history. Here, you can truly feel the depth of ancient history and appreciate the importance of archaeology. The entrance fee was very reasonable, making it an accessible experience for visitors. Additionally, there is a bistro conveniently connected to the museum, offering a pleasant spot to relax. Visiting this museum in Basel, Switzerland, was an unforgettable experience.

Not very big, quite interesting, especially the section dedicated to ancient Egypt. Other sections are dedicated to ancient Rome and ancient Greece. You need about 90 minutes to visit it, at least an hour.

FREE ON WEEKENDS. Small museum which can take up to 1 hour. Really good expositions especially the Egyptian one which I recommend to do last. The interactive part for kids/adults where you can touch stuff is fun and very welcome. Don’t skip the small but nice museum shop.

Very wonderful egyptian exposition. You must download the guide it is amazing!

Squicky floors and awful, mostly natural lightning. Arnold Böcklin's paintings are amazing but it's impossible to enjoy them if you can't really see them due to reflections. Paintings lacks information about where they were painted and generally floor plan seems a bit chaotic, without guidance how to proceed. I was expecting much better quality of presentation, feels a bit like a waste of time and money.
