To mark the 125th anniversary of the Appenzellerland Tourismus AI association, the Appenzell Museum is presenting an exhibition on the subject of tourism. With objects and photos, many of which are from the museum's own collection, the topic of tourism is illuminated from different perspectives.
In Appenzell Innerrhoden, tourism experienced a rapid upswing from the middle of the 19th century, leading to the establishment of countless inns in and around the Alpstein. As a result, elaborately designed posters were launched and the first illustrated tourist guides and the weekly Innerrhoder Fremdenblatt were published. They all advertise the charming landscape and the hospitality of local family businesses.
No expense is spared for guests from near and far. The tourist offer is varied, including gondola rides on the Seealpsee and daily tea concerts. A flood of picture postcards show where the journey is worthwhile, and colorful souvenirs remind us of our stay.
The exhibition also takes a look behind the scenes of tourism at the many employees in the hospitality industry. They welcome travelers, transport the luggage, clean the rooms, iron the laundry, prepare the food and set the tables. The exhibition is complemented by portraits of five women from Innerrhoden who work or have worked as mountain innkeepers and talk about the challenges of their profession.

Tuesday to Friday 10.00 - 12.00 13.30 - 17.00 Saturday, Sunday and public holidays 11.00 - 17.00
