Our overview shows you suitable dates near you – ideal if you’re looking for inspiration for your next project, want to meet new artists, or simply feel like spending a relaxed day with nerd vibes.

What to expect at an exhibition

Exhibitions are often the perfect counterpart to the convention hustle and bustle: less rush, more focus. Depending on the event, you can look forward to different highlights – from curated themed worlds to community-driven showcases.

• Cosplay exhibitions featuring costumes, armor builds, props, and behind-the-scenes insights
• Fan art & illustration exhibitions (prints, originals, digital art)
• Photography exhibitions with cosplay shoots, editorials, or staged scenes
• Themed exhibitions on anime studios, games, characters, sci-fi/fantasy universes
• Interactive elements such as VR stations, small workshops, or discussion rounds

Who are exhibitions interesting for?

An exhibition is for you if you:

• are looking for inspiration for cosplay designs, materials, and techniques
• prefer browsing at a relaxed pace instead of standing in queues for hours
• want to celebrate art, craftsmanship, and the detail work that goes into costumes
• want to discover new artists, photographers, or makers
• enjoy taking photos (where allowed) and drawing inspiration from the presentation

Tips for your exhibition visit

• Check opening hours: Some exhibitions have fixed slots or closed days.
• Observe photo rules: Often, “no flash” applies, or photography is only allowed in certain areas.
• Plan enough time: Details are worth it – especially with props, embroidery, and weathering.
• Respect the community: Do not touch exhibits unless it is explicitly allowed.

Exhibition or convention – what’s the difference?

Many events overlap. However, the focus of an exhibition is clearly on presenting and experiencing works – often curated, frequently calmer, and sometimes accompanied by talks or guided tours.
