De Bazel as an archive building
Look at the stairs, materials and monumental halls before you move on to the display cases. The former bank building influences how the archive presentation is experienced spatially.
Treasury with originals
Deeds, maps and photographs have a specific maker and administrative function. For one item, read the date, sender and archival context before using it as a complete picture of the city.
Exhibitions and reading room differ
Public exhibitions are open at weekends, while the information centre and research have more limited weekdays. An exhibition ticket or free admission does not automatically give access to archive documents.
Before you go
Tuesday–Friday 10.00–17.00, weekends 12.00–17.00; closed Monday. Research rooms have their own, more limited hours.
