Vitra Design Museum, Weil am Rhein
Though it's claimed by Basel, the Vitra Design Museum is actually across the border in Weil am Rhein in Germany. It is focused on furniture and interior design, though perhaps most noted as Frank O. Gehry's first building in Europe. I preferred Tadao Ando's conference pavilion and Zaha Hadid's rather quirky fire station, built on site after realizing a little too late that the nearest village fire department couldn't respond fast enough.
