The Friends’ Association Fotomuseum Winterthur is one of the museum’s key pillars. The steady ongoing development of our diverse and dedicated range of services is in part made possible by the generous support of members of the association. This extends to the presentation and discussion of photography and visual culture in the context of exhibitions, events and an arrayof educational activities – our programme relies on their input and contributions.
