From Stories to Science

Long before science, we had stories. Through twelve intricate illustrations and accompanying snippets, explore the dark tales and legends we once used to make sense of the world. From the taming of volcanoes to the fossils behind our mythical creatures, learn about the science that eventually replaced them.

Stunning Wall Art, Month After Month

A year of artwork, science, and kurzgesagt for your walls. Every piece is vibrant, bold, and beautifully printed on high-quality paper. Each month brings an incredible new illustration to transform your wall into a scene of science and wonder.

"When brainstorming this year’s theme, we considered how complex the world really is. We still can’t explain everything today, so how did people do it in the past? Illustrating these concepts that go beyond what a camera could capture gave us a lot of creative freedom. Each illustration was carefully conceptualised and designed, and we aimed to make the artworks very detailed so that something new can catch your eye throughout the entire month."

Teddy, Head of Illustration

Made by Humans, for Humans

Behind every page is a team of real people: researchers digging into myths, writers shaping stories, and artists illustrating each unique legend by hand. Every detail (and there are many!) is there for a reason. Creating this calendar takes a year of hard work, but it's become our statement against mindless AI slop.

Fund Another Year of kurzgesagt

Each calendar purchase funds independent science communication, giving our researchers, writers, and artists the time and care to make meaningful, high-quality work. Thanks to you, we can keep making free educational videos for millions, crafted with love and curiosity.

I did not open the foil so far as this calendar is a Sinterklaas present for my son (5 december). But for what I can see it’s beautiful

Most stunning calendars! We love them. It's the fourth we bought and every single one is so unique and lovely. Our son loves to look for the little birbs in the pictures. I do too ;). We also have a lot of posters, socks, a cup, a beanie....and we watch a lot of episodes. Thank you very much for "kurzgesagt".

The only way to enjoy time passing by is looking at it unravel trough the pages of the Kurzgesagt calendar. I don't use any other calendar anymore: they're high-quality, tie the room together and light up the sense of wonder in your guests. Work like magic, but it's science!

As I have every year for the past five years—this will be the sixth—I’m discovering a treasure trove of graphic art that will be a worthy successor to its predecessor. 12026 is coming to an end; here’s to a wonderful and happy 12027.

Congrats on your sixth Human Era Calendar! Your ongoing support all these years truly means a lot to our little team. Thank you ❤️

Always a great calendar, we use it as our office one (Phd office).
The sillyness in combination with the amount of thought behind it makes it a favourite attraction at the start of each month.

Thank you for appreciating the work behind it and for sharing this lovely review! 🥰

These calendars have been the highlight of my year since 2021. I look forward to each one and get them as soon as they are available. I love them so much that I wish I could buy the ones I missed out on. I also support the Human Era, as it puts much more of our history into perspective. They are brilliant, high-quality, and stunningly illustrated. If you are on the fence, get it now! You will be addicted to them :-)

Words like these are the highlight of our year. Thank you so much for sharing the love and passion for our Human Era Calendars! 🥹❤️

As one of the only traditons in my house, i am really happy to see that the next calender is again even better than the last one! Love the artwork, only thing is that it seems that the paper gets thinner, it feels a bit flimsy in comparison with the one from this year, but that could be me.
