Set in historical rooms, the Museum offers a colourful overview of the world-famous Basel carnival – ranging from costumes, lanterns, masks, and musical instruments, to historical documents and a replica of a typical “carnival pub”. In addition, a multimedia station provides a lively insight into the hustle and bustle of the Basel carnival.
