"The Gruffalo. The exhibition"

Young museum visitors from the age of three were invited to dress up, touch, try things out and join in. Biographical information and a compilation of original graphics provided an insight into Scheffler's multifaceted artistic work and his development into one of the most successful picture book illustrators in the world.

As part of the programme accompanying the exhibition, the Grüffelo illustrator Axel Scheffler himself visited the museum. He read from the children's book "Der Grüffelo" and brought the characters to life with live drawings.

Due to the multiple corona-related lockdowns and the subsequent hygiene requirements, all other events had to be cancelled. Among other things, a puppet theatre, a puppet show and a cinema combination with a visit to the exhibition were planned. In total, the exhibition had to be closed three times due to the pandemic. After the third lockdown in March 2021, the exhibition was no longer able to open its doors to the public.
