Special Designed Lanyards

Another news is that all visitors of our event will have free entrance at ground level of the museum. And, upon your requests, we produced some lanyards - to "certify" that you are part of the event. They are not mandatory, but nice to have.

The lanyards have multiple purposes - they can be used as well after our event - to hang keys or to hang your phone. And they are decorated with postcard symbols with colour of German Flag - so not aggressive advertisement. They will come together with a plastic support and also a special cardboard/ postcard size where you can add your name and/ or postcrossing nickname with a marker. 

Those lanyards are a sign also for the museum staff in order to recognize the people who have them that they are part of the event.

Available to be ordered in advance and also on spot, in the museum during the event (or simply send me an email to mihnea.raducu@gmail.com)


The photo is just an example:


And this is what you will receive - having the possibility to personalize it with your name or nickname and your country:
