Meeting point: Museum entrance
The guided tour tells the eventful story of the wall painting fragments by Basel artist Ernst Stückelberg (1831-1903), which recently became part of the collection of the Museum Kleines Klingental. They originally adorned the Erimanshof on Petersgraben, Stückelberg's home and artist's house. When this had to make way for a road widening project in 1937, the paintings were sawn from the walls and taken to a municipal depot - where they were forgotten for decades. It was not until 2023 that they were brought back to light in a special exhibition at the Museum Kleines Klingental. Today, after a long journey through the city and through time, they have found a new home in the Klingental monastery kitchen - an impressive example of how "history moves" and is moved in the truest sense of the word.
Guided tour: Daniel Schneller, Director Museum Keines Klingental
Price: CHF 10.-/7.-
