It’s All in the Detail | Enter the Imaginative World of Naboland and The Behrens Family

9 October 2025

Step inside Reinhard Behrens’ Naboland, a world where imagination takes flight and curiosity is rewarded. The Behrens family invites us to look closer, to find beauty and humour hidden in plain sight. Each piece tells a story, from mechanical marvels to miniature scenes brimming with life and wit.

What’s inside the Explorer’s hut?  Take a look inside the drawers and connect with all the objects.  Where is the submarine taking us?  Can you spot the polar bears or the musician deep in thought, the bird mid-flight, or the subtle echoes of family tradition? Every detail reveals something new about each artist. Naboland and The Behrens Family is an invitation to explore a universe of ideas, artistry, and the traces we all leave behind.

Discover a world where art, movement, and storytelling intertwine, and where the smallest details hold the biggest surprises.
