Historisches Museum Historical Museum

The fourteenth-century Barfüsserkirche Church of the Barefoot Friars was revamped in the 1970s to house the Historical Museum with imperative accumulations on nearby history and culture.

It spotlights especially the city's one of a kind position at the junction between Swiss, German, and French societies.

In the nave of the congregation are the Late Gothic embroidered works of art and the inquisitive Lällenkönig Babbling King, a delegated head with a mobile tongue and eyes that was the image of Gross-Basel in the seventeenth century.

In the walkways are weapons and outfitted period rooms, in the choir religious workmanship, and in the tomb is the minster treasury, recouped subsequent to being spared from annihilation amid the Reformation.

Intriguing shows manage the significance of silk lace fabricates in Basel from the late eighteenth through the nineteenth century.
