Others

The punctuation “.!” (Dot and exclamation mark) used by the Museum Guggging in the exhibition titles and the crossbar letters used in the logo are a reference to the Gugging artist August Walla (1936–2001). Walla used a calligraphic font and the aforementioned punctuation in his numerous letters and in drawings, paintings and objects.
