Bern - Atelier Alpes: Creators, exhibition at the Swiss Alpine Museum

The “Atelier Alpes” exhibition presents women and men craftsmen from the Swiss Alps. It is not an idealized world that you see here, but the reality of everyday life: in today’s digitized and globalized world, what does it mean to manufacture a product with your hands? What place does manual work still occupy today in current craftsmanship – in skis, boots, shingles?

The museum is transformed into a workshop where the various artisanal companies of the mountain settle down – personally or through sound and image. These give an idea of their know-how and show what craftsmanship represents today: from local raw materials to marketing, including traditional production techniques.

Until September 27, 2020.
