When Zamonien unfolds in Erlangen
In the Erlangen City Museum, drawing meets wordplay, satire meets imagination, and a whole literary universe meets curious visitors. The special exhibition The Comedic Art of Walter Moers runs from May 3 to September 13, 2026, and shows why Moers has long achieved cult status. His books combine adventure novels, satire, and pop culture, along with ink drawings, oil paintings, models, and puppets.

Between Captain Bluebear and Little Asshole
Walter Moers is much more than an author with a sharp pen. The Erlangen showcase spans from his comic beginnings around 1990 through characters like the Little Asshole to Captain Bluebear and the Zamonien cosmos. The result: a laugh experience that never feels clumsy but works with timing, punchlines, and lots of imagination.

Wordplay with Drawing Talent
Those who know Moers understand: Here, language is not just used but performed like a well-oiled stage act. The exhibition shows how wordplay, comic art, and storytelling propel each other. This mix is what makes it appealing: a bit of cabaret in the head, a bit of stand-up on paper, and the delicate audience reaction between awe and laughter.

A Museum that Makes Visiting Easy

The bus stop Martin-Luther-Platz is right in front of the entrance, which is on the ground level; all exhibition and event rooms are accessible for wheelchair users, and there is a barrier-free restroom, a wheelchair-accessible elevator, and guided tours with sign language interpretation available upon request.

What Visitors Can Expect
The exhibition is not a dry display case number but a lovingly curated journey through Moers’ imaginary mountains. Public tours, workshops, and a puzzle booklet enhance the experience. So, if you are in the mood for comic fair vibes, literature with bite, and art with a wink, this event promises to activate both your brain and smile.
