JUHUU-biläum
25 Years Karikaturmuseum Krems
JUHUU-biläum! In 2026, the Karikaturmuseum Krems will celebrate its 25th anniversary. As Austria's only museum dedicated to satirical art, it has been showcasing art and humor in all its forms, colors, and strokes since 2001—from political caricatures to comics, from humorous drawings to contemporary cartoons. Discover exciting facts about the museum and its program, from A for Artist Talk with Gerhard Haderer to Z for Enchanting Family Fun with Axel Scheffler and Julia Donaldson!
A quarter century of critical drawing
For 25 years—specifically since September 29, 2001—the Karikaturmuseum Krems has been demonstrating the versatility of this art form: social criticism with a wink from Bruno Haberzettl or Gerhard Haderer, surprising perspectives such as Federico Fellini's erotic drawings, and family highlights from Grüffelo to Christine Nöstlinger. Presentations on Ulli Lust, Astrid Langer, and Judith Lava reveal how strongly women influence the scene. In addition, there is the finest satire by Paul Flora, glimpses into the digital present, and great works from the world of comics with Florian Satzinger and The Simpsons. And, of course, Manfred Deix, whose work has accompanied the museum since its inception.
The building itself tells a story: architect and caricaturist Gustav Peichl (IRONIMUS) created a smiling facade with a red nose and a jester's cap as a roof. What else does the striking zigzag roof mean? Which exhibition did the museum open its doors with at the gateway to the Wachau region? Why is it also known as the Deix Museum?

Artistic trailer for the JUHUU anniversary
To mark the 25th anniversary of the Karikaturmuseum Krems, comic artist Valerie Bruckbög presents the museum from a unique perspective: from the viewpoint of art itself. The artistic trailer is a commissioned work and brings the museum, its atmosphere, and its history to life in a refreshing way.
