LANTERN EXHIBITION<br />
After the parade on Monday afternoon, the cliques* display their<br />
elaborately designed lanterns on the Münsterplatz. Featuring<br />
the visualized sujets*, the lanterns reveal their true magic after<br />
dark when they are lit for the first time after Morgestraich. They<br />
come in many forms and styles. Some bear the unmistakable<br />
signature of regular artists, others are painted by laymen and<br />
-women. Today, new techniques and innovative materials are<br />
being employed increasingly. What once began with caricatures<br />
of well-known Basel politicians and personalities has over the<br />
last decades developed into a true art historical digest.<br />
EXHIBITION OF FLOATS<br />
AND PROPS<br />
Some of the large floats and props (Requisiten*) that feature in<br />
the cortège can be admired at the Kaserne where they are on<br />
display throughout the day on Tuesday.<br />
