Today we drove to our ship, the River Harmony, in Basel.
After our first delicious lunch on board, I went into town to the History Museum.
Watch built in 1680 |
This museum had an interesting mixture of exhibits. The most
interesting was on clocks and watches, most from the 17th century.
Here descriptions in English were lacking except for some videos. Less interesting were the
rooms decorated with furniture from various periods in the 18th and
19th centuries. Here they had guide books in English. In the attic,
they had a display of doll houses, toys, and games. I had expected an exhibit
on Einstein, but discovered that was in the history museum in Bern, not Basil.
