Museumsnacht im Winter Wonderland

The question of whether there will be a white Christmas is one that arises every year – even as Basel has seen some 70 green-grey Christmases since 1931. The most recent white Christmas was in 2010. Given the effects of climate change, it is unlikely that snow will become a more frequent feature of the festive season, but the longing remains.
In addition to white ornaments from the Christmas decoration collection, numerous porcelain Snowbabies, and historical postcards, the exhibition will feature a selection from the snow collection of Swiss artist Silas Kreienbühl.
