To celebrate the 25th anniversary of Fotomuseum Winterthur, we have invited friends and colleagues who have accompanied us along the way to choose their favourite works from our collection, which has been a mainstay of our activities ever since the museum was founded in 1993. Director Nadine Wietlisbach, by adding further works to this selection, affords a glimpse of our future path.

Come and join us on a journey through the history of the museum and the stories it tells. The exhibition and the accompanying publication, which includes numerous interviews and essays as well as a portrait series by Anne Morgenstern (designed by Hi, Megi Zumstein and Claudio Barandun and to be published by Spector Books in November), both are under the banner of our shared memories and our anticipation of adventures still to come.
