Learn more about traditional wickerwork
A wooden staircase leads to the Basket-weaving Museum, where all manner of unique items are displayed. Several of these are family heirlooms; others were entrusted to the Basket-weaving Museum by self-employed basket weaver Therese Leutwyler. The range of items on show in the museum is astonishing: everything from a woven child’s wheelchair to a tiny basket is exhibited. Special exhibitions provide details of weaving techniques, materials or woven artworks from around the world.
