Trips & tours
Tour of the Andreas Ernst Clock Collection
The Andreas Ernst Collection in Muttenz houses a remarkable collection of antique pendulum clocks dating from the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Our tour guide will be John Joseph, a British clock maker and restorer based here in Basel.
Talks & workshops
Landschaftspark Wiese
The former floodplain on the left and right banks of the River Wiese is now a cultural landscape park used for a variety of purposes. The Landschaftspark is also the region’s “drinking water factory”, a nature conservation oasis and an ecological corridor. It is also used for both agriculture and forestry.
Other events
ArtWall Vernissage and Exhibition: Visions. Shakespeare. Scenes.
The painter Alvaro de Taddeo (b. 1957) from Basel attended the Humanistic Gymnasium, Muensterplatz Basel, completed a preparatory course at the Basel School of Arts and Crafts and then an apprenticeship as a window dresser.
Finding your Circle: A New Support & Connection Group
Sometimes, despite the beautiful surroundings, we find ourselves looking for a deeper sense of connection—a place where we can speak openly and be truly heard. We will gather as a group of ten, meeting weekly for 90 minutes over a six-week period. Our conversations will be guided by what matters most to you.
Photography group and photo competitions
The photography group organises several activities and events. In addition to the workshops, the group also invites Centrepoint members – and their household members – to participate in photo competitions.

Year-round Fasnacht
The best way to enjoy Fasnacht is live — at the Morgestreich or one of the parades, concerts or lantern displays. But if you don’t enjoy waking up before 4 am or standing outside in the cold, you can also experience it year-round at the Basler Fasnacht exhibition at the Museum of Cultures.
Visit to Salt Works in Schweizerhalle
The visit to the Saline AG on 21st January began with an engaging video tracing the history of salt—from its origins over 13.8 billion years ago to modern-day production in Pratteln.
