The Museum Kleines Klingental invites you to the vernissage of its new publication. The richly illustrated book sheds light on the multifaceted history of the former Klingental Convent - from the medieval convent to the Reformation and numerous conversions to today's museum and event venue. It brings 750 years of Basel's history to life in a vivid way. Discover the highlights of the collection: the original sandstone sculptures of Basel Minster, previously unknown objects, hidden details and the latest research findings on this unique cultural site.
