Public Enemy – Bruno Manser and the Rainforest (one showcase)

Today: 10.00 AM - 5.00 PM

06 September 2019 - 01 March 2020

Bruno Manser (1954–2005) was Switzerland’s best known environmentalist and human rights activist during his own lifetime. He ventured to Borneo in Malaysia to study the language and culture of the Penan, one of the last nomadic peoples on earth. As an activist he was committed to exposing the fate of indigenous peoples living in the rainforest, the machinations of the logging industry, and the human rights situation in Malaysia. The Malaysian government declared Manser an enemy of the people and refused to grant him another entry permit. Undeterred, he again embarked on a journey to the Penan in May 2000 – and has not been seen since.

This small presentation (one showcase 6 x 2 metres, 18 objects) developed in collaboration with the Bruno Manser Fonds and the Museum der Kulturen Basel sets out to paint a portrait of this influential Basel native, who through his actions heightened our awareness of environmental issues and human rights with lasting effect.

Institution

The Basel Historical Museum with its three sites is widely regarded as the most important museum of cultural history on the Upper Rhine. It collects, conserves, records and researches objects and artefacts of relevance to our cultural heritage for future generations, tells visitors the story of Basel, and is a place for discourse and engagement with both present and future.
 
The Basel Historical Museum, housed in the Barfüsserkirche since 1894, shows selected aspects of the history of Basel from prehistoric times to the present. The focus of the exhibits from the pre-Reformation period is on sacred works of art such as the Basel Dance of Death and Basel Cathedral Treasury. The exhibition in the basement, headed “Understanding the World”, comprises a magnificent array of medieval tapestries with their fantasy worlds and scenes of real life, the Renaissance and Baroque collections, now grouped together in one “Great Cabinet of Curiosities”, and Basel’s rich archaeological heritage. Among the other highlights are the coin cabinet and the Burgundian Booty.
