2. Basler Papiermühle

The origins of the book trade and the development of the printing press have their roots in Basel. This award-winning museum, which was a flourmill during the Middle Ages, was converted into a paper mill in the mid-15th century. Today it houses displays and exhibits devoted to the history of the paper and printmaking industries. Workshops and demonstrations are offered and feature papermaking, typography and fonts, and bookbinding.   (© 10Best)
