New experimental data on very neutron-deficient Kr isotopes extend the systematic of low-lying 0+ states in this mass region. Clear evidence for shape isomers was found in 74Kr and in the N=Z nucleus 72Kr. Coulomb excitation in inverse reaction kinematics was shown to be powerful method in order to disentangle the different shapes of atomic nuclei.
