Whether in the kitchen or in the pharmacy: the mortar was and is a popular tool. Grinding, crushing, grinding; it can do many things, and has been doing so for a very long time. The special exhibition "Mortars" explores the question of why there are so many different mortars and how they were used. The exhibition also introduces the Basel foundry families Roth and Weitnauer for the first time, whose craft shaped the Basel area for centuries. A guided tour of the special exhibition with the curators

Guided tour starts at 14:00
