The workshop is included in museum admission: CHF 20 for adults, CHF 11 for kids 5 to 16, and free for kids under 5.

Do kids need to speak German?

The folding is guided in German, so a kid who doesn't speak it will do best with a parent alongside to translate.

About

A drop-in origami workshop at the Basler Papiermühle, the Swiss museum of paper, writing and printing, set inside a medieval paper mill in St. Alban-Tal. With expert guidance, kids and parents fold their own colorful paper creations. It suits kids who like making things with their hands and can follow instructions in German. The whole museum invites visitors to try the old crafts, across four floors.
