Inventi's Choice
Description
The agony of choice. After almost five years of inventorying, Inventis and the core team of the General Inventory know the collection like the back of their hand. They have had all 300,000 objects in their hands - from the large gravestones to the tiny doll's crockery. They can tell us a lot about surprising, bizarre and impressive discoveries in the depots. Their choice of favorite objects reveals the personal connection they have to the various objects in the Basel Historical Museum's unique collection.
