thumb|The Schaulager in Münchenstein/Basel
The '''Schaulager''' is a museum in Newmünchenstein, a sub-district of [Münchenstein](/source/M%C3%BCnchenstein) in the [canton](/source/Cantons_of_Switzerland) of [Basel-Country](/source/Basel-Country), [Switzerland](/source/Switzerland).

Built in 2002/2003 under commission of the Laurenz Foundation, it was designed by the renowned architectural office of [Herzog & de Meuron](/source/Herzog_%26_de_Meuron), the Schaulager opened in 2003. The Schaulager was conceived as an open warehouse that provides the optimal spatial and climatic conditions for the preservation of works of art.

The institution functions as a mix between public [museum](/source/museum), art [storage](/source/warehouse) facility and art [research institute](/source/research_institute). It is primarily directed at a specialist audience but is also open to the general public for special events and the annual exhibitions.
