The presentation is part of the Double Up! exhibition.

Children's books bridge the gap between art and design, captivating both children and adults. Text and images interact with each other in imaginative ways. Recently, there has been an international boom in illustrated children’s books.

In 2026, the museum will host various projects centered on literature. For instance, Hans Ticha, an East German artist, became well known in the GDR for designing children’s books. Some of these books will be on display. Wonderland features a newly furnished reading corner within the Double Up! exhibition. In collaboration with the Neue Sammlung – The Design Museum, art and design come together under various themes.
