The carnival festival of the Kölnischer Kunstverein for members, artists and friends in costume with music, food and drink.
In 2009 the Kölnischer Kunstverein revived the legendary rag ball. We are happy to be able to indulge in the LAANGEN ENT this year. The LAANGE ENT was a costume party in 1920s Cologne. It was not until 2014 that documents of this debauched artists’ festival were rediscovered and presented at the Kölnischer Kunstverein. Duck costumes are therefore particularly popular this year. If you appear in a duck costume or with duck details, you will receive a special golden wizardry designed and signed by Cologne artist and archivist Claus Richter!
