On 8 November 2014, the Museum der Kulturen Basel and the Verein Basler Fasnacht-Welt decided that the ‘Basler Fasnacht’ exhibition would be open to the public from Thursday to Sunday.

The museum will provide the exhibition and infrastructure, while the Association will supervise it. This means the Fasnacht exhibition is accessible all year round and supervised by experts in the field.

So far, around 45,000 visitors have taken the opportunity to learn more about this unique Unesco World Heritage event or reminisce.
