From May 18, 2025, the Appenzell Folklore Museum will be showing the special exhibition "Appenzeller Bilderwelten - Neuzugänge der Stiftung für appenzellische Volkskunde".

The Foundation for Appenzell Folklore owns a collection of Appenzell peasant paintings that is unique in terms of quality and scope. Its objects form the basis of the permanent exhibition on peasant and herdsman culture in the Appenzell Folklore Museum. The special exhibition presents a selection of the new acquisitions of recent years, which have enriched the Foundation's collection through donation or purchase. The pictures, carvings and painted furniture show a broad spectrum of Appenzell pictorial culture in terms of color and form. The exhibition includes works from the 19th century by Johann Jakob Heuscher, Anna Barbara Aemisegger-Giezendanner and Daniel Waldburger, among others, and works from the 20th and 21st centuries by Konrad Zülle, Werner Aemisegger, Johannes Rotach, Josef Oertle, Willy Künzler and Trudy Graf.
