One costume on the catwalk last paraded at Fasnacht 2025. The Clique Déjà Vü dyed its cloth in itajime, a Japanese clamp technique, sewed 53 kimonos and wore insect-head masks to play the Japanese beetle, an invasive pest. Only in Basel would a carnival clique consult experts in Japan to dress up as a beetle.

Around the catwalk hang about 250 textiles from the museum's collection, from kimonos and West African boubous to shoes. Seven stations put the tools beside the cloth and show how fabric is bound, folded or stitched before dyeing. You can bind your own cotton tenugui at the hands-on table, and the museum dyes it and puts it on show.

The curator, Stephanie Lovász, says the craft takes time, experience and "a little mathematics", and the show sticks to that. Catwalk pieces change about every six months until January 2028. Entry is CHF 16, CHF 5 for students and ages 13 to 18, and free up to 12.
