Intro
A hands-on family museum. The focus is on people and their actions.
The MUKS is a hands-on family museum. The focus is on people and their actions. This links the history of the village, the valuable toy collection and the theme of play in an appealing way.
The "Village" and "Play" sections of the exhibition trace human activities such as "Living", "Housekeeping", "Working", "Dreaming" and "Fighting". In the newly designed rooms, visitors discover life in the past and link it to their own experiences. The courtyard and the newly designed historical garden invite visitors to play and linger.
With its offer to explore and participate, the MUKS is particularly aimed at families with children and grandparents with grandchildren.
Permanent exhibitions:
Play - On the trail of everyday wonders
There is a lot on offer as you wander through the "Play" exhibition. Whether in the "Dreaming", "Living" or "Cheating" room - we will entertain you with amazing and everyday things. You'll come across all kinds of great toys from the past. You'll take home new knowledge as well as lots of tips. We'll tell you about clever animals and bizarre inventions. We'll let you slip into the dream bubble and swing into adventure. At the same time, we want to know a few things about you: What is your favorite job? How good are you at cheating? Which toys would you exhibit?
Village - A journey into Riehen's past
In the "Village" exhibition, we tell you the eventful history of Riehen in a new, dynamic way. What was life like in the past and what is life like now in this special place right on the national border? Which people shaped Riehen? How did the village shape its inhabitants? We let contemporary witnesses have their say and tell you about people from the past. Then as now: What connects them to their homeland? What separated them from it?
Wettstein - Who was Johann Rudolf Wettstein?
The MUKS is located in the former home of Johann Rudolf Wettstein. On a tour with eight radio play stations, you can find out more about the life and work of the famous mayor of Basel.
