Walter Moers in Erlangen: When comics, wordplay, and dark humor meet exhibition art
At the Erlangen City Museum, Walter Moers will be celebrated from September 1, 2026, as a master of absurd wit and narrative imagination. The exhibition What's there to laugh about? The comedic art of Walter Moers showcases why the creator of Captain Bluebear, the Little Asshole, and Zamonien has enjoyed cult status for decades. The show runs until September 13, 2026, combining comics, literature, and satire into a smart and wonderfully quirky laughter experience.

An artist who builds entire worlds from punchlines
Walter Moers is one of the most original storytellers in contemporary German literature. His career spans from provocative comics through cult figures like the Little Asshole to the imaginative Zamonien novels, where wordplay and artistic precision constantly surpass one another. This mix makes him equally exciting for comedy fans and literature enthusiasts: every punchline lands perfectly, and every drawing tells its own story.

Between dark humor and artful fantasy
The exhibition explores Moers' comedic art and shows how cheeky taboos, detail-loving imagery, and literary irony have created a unique tone. The City Museum describes him as a double talent who gained cult status as both a drawing author and a writing illustrator. For visitors, this creates an unusual comedy atmosphere where loud stage gestures do not matter, but timing, mental interaction, and the quiet weight of a well-constructed punchline do.

A museum experience for comic fans, satire lovers, and curious explorers
Those who know Moers expect more than pretty pictures on the wall. The exhibition delivers just that: a look at the development of an artist who intertwines pop culture, literary history, and humor. The Erlangen City Museum is accessible and located in the heart of the old town; the entrance at Martin-Luther-Platz 9 is barrier-free, and there is a barrier-free toilet on the ground floor. The opening hours are clear: Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday from 9 AM to 5 PM, Thursday until 8 PM, and on weekends from 11 AM to 5 PM.
