Die schicken Gebäude eines Life Sciences-Campus scheinen nichts mit den keltischen Behausungen gemein zu haben, die vor rund 2000 Jahren an exakt derselben Stelle so etwas wie eine erste Stadt am Rheinknie bildeten. Entsprechend geht der Rundgang der Frage nach, wie sich Basel zu der Stadt entwickelte, die wir heute kennen. Anhand ausgewählter Zeugnisse werden prägende Momente und historische wie auch aktuelle Herausforderungen der Stadtentwicklung beleuchtet.

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.
