The exhibition Funny, but true! takes a humorous approach to the topic of water in times of climate crisis. Six exhibition banners show caricatures that each focus on one aspect of the water issue. Visitors can rate the individual caricatures as “Funny!” or “Not funny!” by affixing a corresponding sticker. Brief background information explains what the depicted scenes have to do with reality.

The 6 banners focus on

• extreme weather events in general,
• droughts in the specific,
• sea level rise,
• plastic pollution,
• water privatization,
• virtual water.

The exhibition is aimed at young people aged 15 and over and adults.
