Wednesday, October 1, 2025, 10 a.m. to 12 p.m.
Meeting point: Museum entrance
The Museum Kleines Klingental exhibits red sandstone sculptures from Basel Cathedral dating from around 1200 to the 16th century. The Romanesque period captivates visitors with the succinct clarity of the wheel of fortune figures and the rich motifs of the pillar supports, while the Gothic sculptures are characterized by their monumental spatial presence. The works, which originate from different functional contexts, offer a fascinatingly wide range of animation and emotion, stylistic development and artistic temperaments. Formal elements such as variation and rhythm are discussed as well as specific sculptural aspects such as material composition and surface treatment, patina or fragment, scale and visibility.
Guided tour: Gian Casper Bott, Director Museum Kleines Klingental
Price: CHF 10.- / 5.- for children and young people up to the age of 16
