“NO!” has never been so charming! Marc-Uwe Kling and Astrid Henn’s “NEINhorn” gallops into the Karikaturmuseum Kremsas an interactive family special featuring book illustrations, texts, and hands-on activities. Set within the “Dieser Haderer” exhibition, this highlight for young and old alike underscores the importance of standing up for one’s own point of view.
Stories That Inspire Courage
Marc-Uwe Kling captivates readers of all ages with his unique humor while conveying values such as self-determination and the courage to be oneself in a way that children can grasp. Astrid Henn’s lovingly designed pages make the picture books a vibrant reading experience that can be rediscovered again and again.
A Participatory Family Highlight
Exhibition – Small but Mighty!
Featuring around 30 book illustrations, sketches, drafts, and texts from “Das NEINhorn”, “Das NEINhorn und der Geburtstag”, and “Das NEINhorn und die SchLANGEWEILE”, the exhibition invites children and adults alike to immerse themselves in the imaginative world of this beloved character.
Surrounded by illustrations, books, and interactive stations, visitors can explore a whimsical world filled with wordplay, witty characters, and creative surprises. A cosy reading sofa and a green carpet meadow with pink seating rocks invite young and old to delve into the stories of Marc-Uwe Kling and Astrid Henn, while audiobooks narrated by Marc-Uwe Kling bring the adventures of the NEINhorn to life. Numerous hands-on activities encourage visitors to get creative themselves: design a personalized NEINhorn door hanger or help the Herzwald grow by adding pink hearts to a collaborative wall display. The oversized “Schleiterspiel” and the “Turm der totalen Tristesse” invite visitors to discover and explore.
