Elegant Imbibing – Baroque Silver from a Basel Collection

How might we turn water into wine? Conjure the aromas of a festive spread? «Imbibe elegantly»? One of Switzerland’s most important private collections of Baroque silver is presented to the public for the first time in this special exhibition. A fascinating insight into the sheer variety of drinking vessels, their manufacture and use, it reveals that for all the differences, there are also parallels between imbibing today and imbibing 300 years ago.
