Wald. Pöschelibock, Waldteufel und Laubsack

Whether habitat or shelter, retreat, recreation area, source of inspiration or supplier of raw materials - the forest is vital. The new special exhibition at the Appenzell Museum explores the topic of forests from a folkloristic and cultural-historical perspective and highlights various aspects of traditional forest use and forest work. The exhibition also features original drawings by illustrators Käthi Bhend and Pia Roshardt as well as contemporary views by artists inspired by the forest - Ueli Alder, Marlies Pekarek, Hans Schweizer, Harlis Schweizer and Birgit Widmer. Some squirrels hop through the exhibition, the "Forest King Laurin" whisks you away to the enchanted oak forest and some of you encounter the forest devil or a Pöschelibock - magical creatures or simply forest tools?
