Memories of Blatten
On May 28, 2025, a landslide and glacier collapse almost completely destroyed the village of Blatten and the hamlet of Ried. Our exhibition aims to make a contribution to this immense experience of loss. Collective and individual memories form the central theme. These are memories for the future and for a new Blatten.
The exhibition themes are:
- Blatten 1900 to 2025: A photographic panorama
- Blatten in art and film
- Blatten - A community
- Ried - The birthplace of tourism in the Lötschental
- The long duration
- The loss of a cultural heritage
- Life stories
- A piece of home
- The lost object
- A monument - The church of Blatten
- The sound of a village - The music society
- People of Blatten
- A media event
- A future for Blatten
The following spoke:
Matthias Bellwald, Mayor of Blatten
Rita Kalbermatten-Ebener and Thomas Antonietti, curators of the Lötschental Museum
The vernissage will be accompanied by music from the "Fafleralp" Blatten music society.
You are cordially invited!
