Veranstaltungsdetails
How did a 400 kg stone from a Roman monumental building end up under Freie Strasse, what do a hand-washing vessel, leather remains and a casting mold reveal about life and crafts in medieval Basel? These and other spectacular finds from two millennia ago come from current and earlier excavations and tell the story of the city center. They shed light on the origins and changes to the market square, its adjacent streets and alleyways and bear witness to a devastating fire in the quarter. They are being shown for the first time in this exhibition, which was created in cooperation with the Basel-Stadt Archaeological Survey.
