Since when has the Morgenstreich been an essential part of Basel's carnival (Fasnacht)? Why does the Basel Fasnacht start on the Monday after Ash Wednesday and at 4 o’clock in the morning sharp? If you want to know more about the unique Basel Fasnacht, you can join a guided tour of the permanent Fasnacht exhibit at Basel’s Museum der Kulturen. The exhibit provides an overview of the Basel Fasnacht in historic and atmospheric rooms with costumes, masks, musical instruments, historical documents, and a reproduction of a typical “Fasnacht.” On this day, they are offering an English-language tour of the exhibit.
