The DISTL Poetry and Town Museum in the heart of the old town offers insights into the life and work of important poets as well as the history and customs of the town of Liestal. The collection is based on the estate of the German freedom poet Georg Herwegh and his wife Emma and has been expanded to include the estates of other authors whose connection to Liestal helped the town earn the nickname "Poets' Nest": Josef Viktor Widmann, Carl Spitteler, Hugo Marti, Theodor Opitz, Friedrich Wilhelm Rüstow and Jonas Breitenstein. In its function as the town museum, the museum looks after the collections of paintings and plans as well as the collection of weapons and flags of the town of Liestal. The attractive permanent exhibition, which was redesigned in 2022 and includes an introductory multimedia show, is supplemented by special exhibitions on literary and cultural-historical themes. Evening events such as readings, lectures, cabaret performances and poetry slams round off the program.
