Events
At Alster, we’re passionate about objects, the stories behind them, and building a vibrant community around shared interests. We also strive to support local artists and DJs — which is why you’ll find our regularly curated playlists playing in the shop.
Below, we introduce our Show & Tell initiative. Keep an eye out for upcoming in-store pop-ups; they’ll be announced here and on our Instagram.
Show & Tell
Do you have a fascinating, quirky, beautiful, or completely unexpected object with a story to tell? Bring it along to our Show & Tell! You’ll have a few minutes on stage to share your item and its story with an audience.
We’ll keep the magic going every last Saturday of the month throughout autumn.
→ As a thank-you for taking part, you’ll receive 15% off any item in the shop.
→ Sign up by emailing: elise@alstermalmo.se. Please attach a photo of your item.

Show & Tell #2
At our second edition of Show & Tell, we heard everything from the story behind a fascinating 78 rpm record featuring Florence Foster Jenkins to the tale of how having an instrument stolen ultimately led to buying ten copies of YMO’s Technodelic.

Show & Tell #1
Our first Show & Tell session gathered brave participants who shared their stories. We learned everything from the history behind finding a Molotov cocktail recipe in Paris to the iconic Clyde Stubblefield drum break, sampled across countless tracks in music history.
