Whether selfie, postcard, stone or magnet - souvenirs preserve memories of our mountain trips. The new exhibition at the Lost and Found Office for Memories focuses on these souvenirs and their stories. The participatory format invites visitors to share their own souvenirs from mountain trips. Whether kitsch or status symbol - we are interested in what you take with you and what your souvenirs remind you of. The new edition of the lost and found office for memories will expand the ALPS tourism collection and discuss different perspectives on current tourism issues.
