The Bucerius Kunst Forum in Hamburg will be opening a new exhibition next month entitled Kids! Between Representation and Reality (spotted via CODART).

According to their website:

Hardly any other topic reflects the values and norms of a society and its changes as clearly as the portrayal of children. At the same time, these depictions bear witness to the appreciation of children and the changing understanding of what it means to be a child over the centuries. The exhibition Kids! Between Representation and Reality is dedicated to the depiction of children in pictures from the 16th to the 21st century. Various chapters approach the subject from different perspectives and draw on photographs and sculptures as well as paintings.

The show will run from 28th November 2025 until 6th April 2026.
