The exhibition presents album panels with character presentations, lithographs, a "giant geese game" and an animated film about the evolution of Ariol and his colleagues over time and about the creators' process from working on comics to animated film.


Ariol, a fourth-grader, lives with his parents: his father Hufus and his mother Mulchen Haverkamp. Ariol has a best friend, Ramono, a small, not very friendly pig and a lover, Petula, a pretty cow with freckles. He spends his holidays with grandpa and grandma. Herr von Schnapp, a strict but fair dog, is his teacher. And above all Ariol loves the stallion Heldenhuf, his favourite hero. Anyway, Ariol is just like you and me.
