Weekend in Hanover

Oh, come on. 103 years of Loriot

Through March 14, 2027—the 103rd anniversary of Loriot’s birth—the Wilhelm Busch Museum is presenting a highly humorous yet profound exhibition on the life and work of this radical humor revolutionary.

A famous animated sketch by the German comedian Loriot: The Breakfast Egg

The duck stays outside, but the fun has to come inside

Visitors can happily drift along among thoughtfully cooked eggs and stuffy couples. Between a radically matriarchal mother, one room too few, and one famous noodle too many. Loriot takes a delightfully unsparing look at the Germans. He shows how good it feels to laugh at oneself. Humor helps and strengthens us, especially in tough times. And if all that isn’t enough, then please… more tinsel!

What is there to see at the Loriot exhibition?

This extensive exhibition is a collaboration with the Caricatura Museum in Frankfurt. It was conceived and curated by Till Kaposty-Bliss and Thomas Kronberg. The exhibition presents well-known and lesser-known works, drawings, objects, posters, photos, and film clips from the multifaceted body of work by Loriot, the “perfectionist of fun.”
