About this place

The Vitra Design Museum is a compact but important Gehry work on one of Europe's richest architecture campuses. Its sculptural white volumes make it a rewarding stop for design lovers even before the exhibitions begin.

Trivia

Completed in 1989, the museum was Gehry's first building in Europe and remains a key anchor of the Vitra Campus architecture ensemble.

Visiting tips

Plan extra time for the broader Vitra Campus and its architecture tours. The museum is generally easiest to visit by car, taxi, or local transit from Basel/Weil am Rhein.
