The folk music exhibition project at ALPS bridges the gap between the mountains and the city. Music brings people together and creates a sense of belonging. At the same time, folk music is associated with many clichés. Together with musicians, the ALPS is designing a sensual and eventful exhibition that will give people something to listen to and talk about from November 2026.
