The alps in legend

The alps in legend

Private guided tour for groups

Are there such things as ghosts, dragons, witches, or the Devil himself? What are tutelary symbols? How much truth is there in folk tales? On the guided tour through the exhibition “The Alps in legend” you will travel to a mythical world of folk tales from the region of the Alps. You get to know where the tales come from, how they were collected, what recurrent motifs they feature and what role they play. Tales such as that of William Tell, the Devil’s Bridge, or the Sennentuntschi are just a few examples from the rich narrative trove of “The Alps in legend”.
