With its new special exhibition ‘Treasure Hoards’, the Basel Historical Museum traces the 25 most spectacular treasure hoards ever found in the Basel region.
On display are Celtic gold jewellery that once adorned huge statues of gods. One of the largest Roman silver treasures in Europe, discovered in Kaiseraugst. Or the loot of a master thief sunk in the Rhine. The treasures on display date from the Bronze Age to the present day and come from north-western Switzerland, Alsace and southern Baden.
