Photo quests for young and old
Want to experience the exhibition in a different way? Then try one of our photo quests tailored to different age groups. A challenge for young and old alike. The forms for the searches are available free of charge in the information kiosks at various locations on the route, including CC Palethe, Pelle-Melle and the church. You can also download them from the links below.
This form contains details of photographs to look for along the route of the open-air exhibition. On each photo on display, you will find a serial number starting with an A (amateur photographer) or P (professional photographer) at the bottom right-hand corner. Write down the number of the photo corresponding to the detail photo on the entry form.
Have fun!
Big thanks to all those who participated in planning this route and building the exhibition
