What do the sculptures from Basel Minster tell us?
The Museum Kleines Klingental is presenting a special series of guided tours of its original sandstone sculptures from Basel Cathedral. On four dates to coincide with the feast days of the saints, their fascinating biographies will be revealed along with their cultural and historical backgrounds - and we will ask about their message of ideas. The guided tours on October 12, 2025 and January 4, 2026 will be accompanied by Gregorian chants performed by singers from the Basel ensembles Olla Vogala and Stella Maris.
