 A major exhibition at the Swiss National Museum, Landesmuseum Zürich, featured special images called stereoviews from the Swiss Center of North America’s Donald G. Tritt Archives. These stereoscopic photographs of Switzerland from 1860 to 1910 were collected by Don and donated to the Swiss Center.

  Jarryd Lowder, who lives in Glarus and is a social media volunteer for the Swiss Center, saw our collection in 2017.Jarryd, knew someone who works at the Landesmuseum. From there came the exhibition and book, and increased international reach and recognition for the Swiss Center.

SCENES FROM STEREOMANIA

“My joy, as a collector, is all-the-greater, knowing this historic photographic art form has reached a wider audience by virtue of the exhibition, “Stereomania: Switzerland in 3D” and by publication of “Stereographic Switzerland.”
