This weekend we dodged the rain by planning an indoor activity. The Paul Klee Museum is located in Bern and it only an hour from Basel. Say what you will about Paul Klee, but I had a lot more respect for his work after I visited the museum. He mixed all of his own paint and made all of his painting tools: brushes, scrapers, reed 'pens', etc. The body of work displayed in the museum even included 32 primative paper-mache puppets he made for his son and the audio guide information was exceptional. All of this housed in a Renzo Piano building consisting of 3 in-ground arches (goto works -> short list -> paul klee). We will definitely be going back to visit - the museum sits on a large piece of land that contains a park and scultpure garden too!
