• Free first Sundays, when entry costs nothing for adults too, so plan a weekend visit around it
• Labels are in German, so kids who don't read it get the most from the hands-on and visual displays
• Short walk from Liestal station, with direct S-Bahn trains from Basel SBB

Museum.BL is the cantonal museum of Basel-Landschaft, housed in the former arsenal in Liestal's old town. Its permanent shows cover the region's wild animals and plants (Wildes Baselbiet) and the history of silk ribbon weaving, drawing on collections of natural history, archaeology and ethnology.

The exhibits are interactive and built with families in mind, and three or four temporary shows change through the year.
