Basel Paper Mill

Basel Paper Mill, Basel

The Basel Paper Mill (German: Basler Papiermühle), also known as the Swiss Museum for Paper, Writing and Printing (German: Schweizerisches Museum für Papier, Schrift und Druck) in Basel, is primarily dedicated to papermaking, the art of book printing and writing in general. Through a combination of pictures and objects, visitors gain insights into the old artisanal techniques of dipping paper, printing and bookbinding.

The museum is located in a carefully restored building that began its life as a paper mill 500 years ago. It is a heritage site of national significance.[1]
