"The Owl is Pink – A Story of Color" (Die Eule ist pink) is the annual special exhibition at the Museum of Ethnography in Basel in 2026. Using a pink ceramic owl from Mexico as a starting point, the exhibition guides visitors to explore the rich meanings of color across different cultures. The exhibition brings together approximately 200 artifacts from around the world, including traditional costumes, textiles, religious art, handicrafts, and everyday objects, demonstrating how color symbolizes identity, faith, power, joy, or mourning. The exhibition also introduces the production process of natural dyes and the spread of color through historical trade and cultural exchange. "The Owl is Pink" is not just an exhibition about color, but a fascinating journey that blends art, ethnic culture, and social history, allowing visitors to rediscover how color shapes our lives and culture.
