About this audio guide
This guide to MOMus, the Museum of Photography in Thessaloniki's port, follows Fred Boissonnas, a Swiss photographer who kept returning to Greece in the early twentieth century, and the archive of his work kept in this former harbour warehouse. It takes you to Litochoro at the foot of Mount Olympus in the summer of nineteen thirteen, where two foreigners went looking for a local who knew the mountain. Best heard standing inside the brick and stone hall itself.
