From the Chamber to the Concert Hall
«Collegium musicum», the orchestra of the 18th century
until Su, 29.03.2026

Music boomed in Switzerland in the 18th century. Wealthy citizens owned their own instruments and even a small music library. In Basel this was the silk ribbon manufacturer Lukas Sarasin (1730-1802), in Bern Karl Friedrich von Steiger (1754-1841) on his country estate in Tschugg. The exhibition presents the musical activities of these Musikkollegien and their repertoire.
