His thirst for research led him not only to every corner of his home in Basel, but also to Greenland and across the Sahara, among other places. Several longer stays in Cameroon also sparked his enthusiasm for the Central African culture, which still exists today. A constant companion on his large and small expeditions was his irrepressible passion for collecting. As part of a special exhibition, the impressive Straumann collection is being shown to the general public for the first time at the DISTL. The central element of the exhibition is a cabinet of curiosities with unusual and curious objects, rounded off by insights into Straumann's eventful life as an explorer, collector and family man. Objects from all over the world, from polar bear skulls to pygmy crossbows, invite you to discover them. Marvel with us!
