The tapestries made in Basel in the 15th century are among the most highly prized items in the entire collection. Some of these colourful depictions of social encounters, scenes of courtship, mythical creatures and «wild men» are heavily idealized renderings of real life, while others are pure fantasy. Some of them up to 6 m long, the tapestries are exhibited alongside related objects of everyday use such as glasses, furniture, coffrets and stove tiles. The aim is to anchor the tapestries in the everyday world of the Late Middle Ages.
