Bakelite Museum Arlesheim

The Bakelite Museum with 8000 objects made of the material of a thousand uses, according to the patent (1906) by Leo Hendrik Baekeland, is located in the Arlesheim industrial zone, 400m away from the motorway feeder Reinach Nord.

Jörg Josef Zimmermann shows the wonderfully designed pressed parts made of duroplastic on Saturday and Sunday from 2 to 5 p.m. A variety of everyday objects from 1906-66 take the viewer back to his childhood and awaken incredible emotions. This world of plastics provides information about Streamline, Artdeco, industrial design and the first series production of everything.
