Hanny Christen's collection is considered one of the greatest music-historical treasures of the Alpine region. The Liestal woman, also known as "Musighanneli", collected over 11,000 instrumental pieces, first in the Basel region and from 1940 throughout Switzerland. She wrote down notes and dances from farmers and musicians and thus created a collection that is unique in its scope and significance. The exhibition highlights Hanny Christen's work, which was published twenty years ago and thus found its way from a basement of the Basel University Library back onto Swiss dance stages.
