Vernissage
With this new special exhibition, the Historical Museum follows in the footsteps of the 25 most spectacular treasure finds in the Basel region. Why were these valuable objects once buried, hidden or sunk in the Rhine? As witnesses of bygone times, they tell of power and wealth - but also of warlike events, dramatic persecutions and sheer misery. Their stories of discovery shed light on magical practices, regional legends and unsolved criminal cases.
