Meeting point: Museum entrance

The guided tour looks at the special, over 750-year-old history of the Kleiner Klingental and its significance for Kleinbasel. Supplemented with vivid visual material and a look at the monastery model, the tour through the historical rooms offers exciting insights into the everyday life of the nuns in the Middle Ages. And what happened after the abolition of the convent during the Reformation? The answer to this question and the background to the opening of the museum in the 1930s round off the multifaceted history of the Little Clingen Valley.
