Hoosesaggmuseum

The Hoosesaggmuseum displays collections through a single display case integrated into the entrance door of a residential building at Imbergässlein 31.

The museum opened in 1995 inside a medieval house built in 1345, which survived the Basel earthquake of 1356 and features Saint Christopher imagery.

Eight different collections rotate throughout the year, featuring items small enough to fit in a pocket, from pill boxes to toy airplanes and cowbells.

Located in central Basel, this free exhibition space allows collectors to showcase their personal collections of at least 30 small items for one month.

The museum's name derives from 'Hoosesagg,' meaning trouser pocket in Basel dialect, as every exhibited item must fit within such a space.
