Basler Papiermühle - Schweizerisches Museum für Papier, Schrift und Druck

Basler Papiermühle is a museum housed in an old paper mill in Basel that shows the history of paper, printing and bookbinding. The displays mix historic machines with hands-on demonstrations, so the subject feels practical rather than purely academic.
