Medieval papermaking
The past is alive and well in Basel’s old paper mill. Here in the mill’s medieval-style workshops, paper is still made using traditional methods.
The history of writing is brought back to life by the machines for casting and setting lead type, while the historical printing presses in the museum's own printing shop show how books used to be produced.
Visitors are welcome to make their own coloured paper in the museum’s interactive studio.
