Da wird nicht nur brüderlich gebechert, sondern tatkräftig entschieden. Über die Geschicke dieser Stadt wachten und wachen die Zünfte und Gesellschaften. Auch wenn sie momentan eher in den Hintergrund getreten sind, so bleiben sie mächtig und einflussreich. Wie entstanden diese Zünfte eigentlich? Wie stark prägten sie das Stadtbild und was sind deren Aufgaben heute? Zahlreiche Ausstellungsstücke im Museum zeugen von einer beeindruckenden Machtpolitik der Basler Zünfte und Gesellschaften, deren Geschichte erzählt werden will.

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.
