The Museum der Kulturen was founded in 1849 to provide a home for all the treasures brought to Basel from around the world by scientists, travellers and merchants. Since the beginning of the 20th century the collections have been supplemented by the museum's own expeditions. The exhibitions and a comprehensive programme of events communicate the museum's work to a wide audience. The body responsible for the museum is the canton of Basel-Stadt, on whose behalf the museum preserves, documents and communicates its cultural legacy. As the largest museum of its kind in Switzerland, the museum has around 300,000 objects and about the same number of historic photographs, including the stocks of the former Swiss Museum of Ethnology. |
