In some supposed flaws, however, figures are hidden that are just waiting to be brought out …
For refreshment, there are various types of sandwiches and drinks.

Interesting facts
What is KUKUK
The „KUKUK“ or rather „the KUKUK“ has existed since 2001. It is an invention of the Kunst group. Back then, the popular art and culture night was still called „Blaue Nacht“.
Since the city of Nuremberg claimed the rights to this designation, the name „KUKUK“ was created through a competition within the art group.
From the very beginning, the Art Group (of the Weltenburg Academy), the Archaeological Museum, the Organ Museum in the Franciscan Church, and the Schneider Gallery in the old brewhouse were involved. Later, the Liberation Hall and the Protestant Community Center were added as event venues. Brand new participants are KAFFEE KREATIV e.V. and KWAK, the Kelheim Artists' Collective.
