The Wettstein Exhibition at MUKS Riehen: Discover Basel Historical Legacy

This permanent exhibition explores the life and influence of the renowned Basel mayor Johann Rudolf Wettstein. Visitors can follow a tour through the museum that features eight audio-drama stations to learn more about his historical legacy.

The MUKS is housed within the former residence of Johann Rudolf Wettstein, providing an authentic setting to explore his significant impact on Basel's history. This permanent exhibition offers visitors a thematic tour that guides them through the various aspects of Wettstein's life and work. Central to the exhibition experience are eight dedicated audio stations that narrate his story. These audio segments provide an immersive way for visitors of all ages to engage with the historical contributions of the famous mayor while moving through the rooms of his former home.
