Souvenirs. Selfies, kitsch, and summit markers

Description

Whether it’s a selfie, a postcard, a rock, a magnet, or a summit marker—souvenirs preserve memories of our mountain trips. The Lost and Found Office for Memories puts these mementos and their stories in the spotlight. This participatory format invites visitors to share their own souvenirs from mountain trips. Whether it’s kitsch or a status symbol—we’re interested in what you bring back from your trips and what your souvenirs remind you of. Your contribution expands ALPS’s tourism collection and adds to the diverse range of perspectives on tourism-related issues.
