Talk:Kunstmuseum Basel

I protest
Sorry, I do not think it was appropriate to delete an entry like this, even if the quality might have been poor. The Kunstmuseum's architecture is a classified monument, and the collections it houses are amongst the most renown worldwide. Just have a look on the museum's official webpage (there's a link on WP:Basel!), and you can get an idea:

 * "Basel’s fine arts museum makes a strong showing in Upper Rhenish and Flemish paintings and drawings from 1400 to 1600 and in 19th- to 21st-century art. The museum has the world’s largest collection of works by the Holbein family. The Renaissance collection includes major works by Witz, Cranach the Elder, Grünewald and others. Paintings by Böcklin, van Gogh, Gauguin and Cézanne feature strongly in the 19th-century exhibits. The focal points of 20th-century art on display are cubism (Picasso, Braque, Léger), German expressionism and American art since 1950."

I forgot to remark that this delete produced quite a number of orphaned links in WP and in Commons. --rpd (talk) 15:51, 5 January 2008 (UTC)
