Baguia Collection at the Museum der Kulturen Basel

Dr Bühler’s expedition to Baguia occurred from 31 July to 18 August, 1935. During that time he acquired and documented 691 objects and took over 300 black and white photographs, akin to a time-capsule of the material culture, architecture, technologies, lifestyle and landscape of Baguia and its residents. The Baguia Collection also includes film footage, taken by Dr Wilhelm L. Meyer, who accompanied Dr Bühler on the expedition.
