Museum der Kulturen Basel

The Museum der Kulturen (Museum of Cultures) in Basel shows its collection several times a year. Three permanent and various special exhibitions are concerned with the here and now. They provide various changes of perspective and allow visitors to see the world from a different angle, where the familiar all of a sudden takes on a new meaning.

Grasping Anthropology

Every first Wednesday of the month the museum organizes a forum to address a specific anthropological topic, discuss current social issues with visitors or simply tell stories from a new perspective, thereby revealing unexpected overlaps with our own daily life.

Basel Carnival. Exhibition

The Basel Carnival is a boundless feast of sounds, colours, dreams and fantasies, but also of biting critique and persiflage. > Special opening hours: Thu – Sat 13.00 – 17.00, Sun 11.00 – 17.00.
