معاينة: كُتبت قبل افتتاح المعرض
Somewhere on every Christmas tree in the house, and somewhere in every room, a squirrel figurine is hiding. The museum puts them out each Advent as a search game, on trees decorated after historical models next to modern ones.
The setting is the period rooms of an 18th-century city palace built for a Basel silk-ribbon manufacturer. You can sit down at the craft table on any day of the run and make an ornament for a tree that visitors decorate together. The open singing happens in the grand stairwell. On Sunday 6 December, 14:00 to 17:00, the Santiglaus and his helper Schmutzli wait in the garden pavilion for children brave enough to recite a little poem, with hot chocolate.
Entry is CHF 18 and free for under-13s, and 6 December is the first Sunday of the month, when it is free for everyone. The house also opens on Tuesdays 1, 8, 15 and 22 December, 10:00 to 17:00.

The hidden squirrels
Look for small squirrel figurines tucked into every tree and every room; finding them all is the house's Advent search game.
Historical and modern trees
Trees dressed after historical models stand alongside modern decorations, so you can compare how the same custom looked in different eras.
The visitors' tree
At the craft table you make a decoration and hang it on a Christmas tree that grows fuller over the run.
The Santiglaus in the pavilion
On 6 December the Santiglaus and Schmutzli sit in the garden pavilion, waiting for children to recite a Värsli, with hot chocolate in the garden.
