There are stories of trickster figures on every continent. Many objects in the Ethnologisches Museum focus on these animal creatures, such as the cunning spider Anansi or the clever hornbill. Tricksters act tricky, unexpectedly or heroically! The pupils find the animals in the exhibition, listen to the stories, get inspired and create their own trickster creatures on playing cards and in fanfolds.
