95 Years of Janosch

For the 95th anniversary, we celebrate Janosch and his distinctive visual world, which has touched hearts for generations. Like few other German artists, illustrators, and authors, Janosch has captured hearts for decades. The exhibition presents originals full of humor, depth, and childlike wisdom – from Tiger and Bear to the quiet, contemplative drawings. Janosch’s works tell of friendship, freedom, and the courage to see the world through one’s own eyes. An invitation to remember, marvel, and continue dreaming.

12.03. - 17.05.2026

Opening hours:
Tuesday to Sunday 10 AM – 5 PM
Closed on Mondays
