Music boomed in Switzerland in the 18th century. Wealthy citizens owned their own instruments and even a small music library. In Basel this was the silk ribbon manufacturer Lukas Sarasin (1730-1802), in Bern Karl Friedrich von Steiger (1754-1841) on his country estate in Tschugg. The exhibition presents the musical activities of these Musikkollegien and their repertoire.
