# Deviant Duckified Masterpieces Duckomenta Takes Great Pop Art and Gives It an Avian Twist By Jason Soy | Published 2011-05-17 | Pop Culture Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/duckomenta References: [blog.thaeger](http://blog.thaeger.com/2011/05/16/duckerized-artworks/) & [duckomenta](http://www.duckomenta.com/) The exhibits in Duckomenta will have you quacking up with their delightful duckified art pieces. And with parodies of [famous works](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sound-of-a-masterpiece) from Leonardo Da Vinci, Roy Lichtenstein and Vincent Van Gogh, Duckomenta will thrill even the toughest art aficionados with its refreshing takes on classics. Inspired by [Disney](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brent-estabrook-debuts-storytime)’s very own Donald Duck, the [museum exhibit](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/unnatural-history-museum-of-singapore) documents great pieces of human art and history, but re-imagines these images to include the iconic duck’s noggin. As such, you’ll find the notorious Che Guevara portrait a lot less revolutionary and a lot more facetious. And it’s only at Duckomenta that anyone can truly say that the expression on Da Vinci’s Mona Lisa portrait is a “duckface.” You can visit the Duckomenta exhibit in Germany at the Roemer-Pelizaeus Museum. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.6/10 - Popularity: 85% | Activity: 75% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Pop Culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/popculture) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Avian Art:** The trend of integrating animals, specifically birds, into classic works of art with modern design technology opens up opportunities for creative and unique art forms. - **Pop-culture Parody:** The innovative use of well-known cultural symbols to create new, entertaining interpretations of old classics can differentiate products and concepts in various markets. - **Remixed Classics:** Combining classic forms with modern technology to create fun, wacky reinterpretations of traditional art can attract younger consumers to appreciate and enjoy long-standing works of art. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Museum and Art Installation:** Art and history museums have the potential to attract wider audiences with exhibits and installations that incorporate imaginative themes and interactive designs. - **Entertainment and Content Creation:** The entertainment industry can create new intellectual property and expand content offerings by using iconic figures to produce original works, merchandise, and immersive experiences. - **Design and Advertising:** Design and advertising agencies can use similar techniques to create ads and campaigns that subvert popular culture and introduce new, creative interpretations of traditional products and services. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Immersive Fine Art Experiences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/la-joconde.md) - [Immersive Multi-Sensory Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/multisensory-exhibition.md) - [Cheeky Inaccurate Language Museums](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/museum-of-wonky-english.md) - [Visual Museum Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/museum-campaign.md) - [Traveling Fine Art Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/get-out-there.md) - [Artful Cartoon-Inspired Apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/doraemon-meets-the-louvre.md) - [Art-Inspired Collectibles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-mattel-x-moma.md) - [In-Person Gallery Experiences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/whataburger-museum-of-art.md) - [Playful Modern Art Shows](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brent-estabrook-debuts-storytime.md)
