Record picnics

Vinyl and friendship

Not so long ago, guests entering a flat for the first time would head straight for the record shelves. Minutes later, you had a topic of conversation, got to know each other and went from vinyl to trust. Today, record treasures often lie dormant in hidden boxes - time to bring them to light! That's why the PLATTENPICKNICKS invited people throughout the year and throughout the city to tap their feet, learn how to play records and strike up many new conversations.
