The foundations for the Kunstmuseum were laid when the city of Basel purchased the 'Amerbachsche Kabinett'. This private collection, which boasted works by Holbein amongst others was the world's first publicly owned one. Work by Witz, Schongaür, Cranach, Grünewald and others also displays the renaissance's rich artistic traditions. Nineteenth-century art is also featured with Arnold Böcklin's work at the forefront. He did, after all come from Basel. Marble steps take visitors to the museum's upper floors. Twentieth century art by greats such as Leger, Braqü and Picasso can be found here as can abstract expressionist and pop art piecs. The building itself is almost cubic. Situated near the Wettsteingbridge, it also houses a library and copper-plate engraving cabinet.
