About the venue

Classic cars and the story of mobility in Muttenz

Pantheon Basel – Forum für Oldtimer is a classic-car destination in Muttenz, just outside Basel. Its museum and restaurant occupy a former repair and machinery hall dating from 1965, whose circular architecture creates a distinctive setting for historic vehicles. The venue brings exhibitions, specialist automotive services and hospitality together in one location.

The museum route follows a ramp through the development of mobility, from early means of transport to historic motor cars. Labels and audiovisual presentations place the vehicles in context, while changing special exhibitions explore particular themes.

Alongside the museum, Pantheon Classic Garage provides services ranging from repairs to complete restorations. Visitors can extend their museum outing with a meal overlooking the cars, while guided tours and dedicated event spaces provide options for clubs, private groups and company gatherings.
