Kunsthaus Baselland

Kunsthaus Baselland is a leading exhibition house for contemporary art in the Basel region, located in Münchenstein near Basel, Switzerland.

The institution also maintains a collection of regional art and hosts changing temporary exhibitions. The building, designed by Buchner Bründler Architekten, was transformed from a former champagne warehouse into a modern art institution on the Dreispitz campus.
