This exhibition presents the extensive collection of Polish posters, spanning from the Young Poland era to contemporary graphic design. It highlights the history of poster art as a reflection of social, cultural, and political transformations, with works rotating every three months. The exhibition returns to the Warsaw cultural map after the modernization of the Poster Museum in Wilanów.
The Poster Museum in Wilanów, now reopened and revitalized, presents its extensive collection of Polish posters in a permanent exhibition. This curated selection offers a journey through over 36,000 objects, tracing the evolution of poster art from the Young Poland movement through the artistic advertising of the interwar period, post-war propaganda, the acclaimed Polish School of Posters, and contemporary graphic design. Each rotation of the display, occurring every three months due to the fragile nature of paper, maintains a core narrative: the history of social, cultural, and political transformations mirrored in poster art. The exhibition's new layout was designed by Syfon Studio, and it is accompanied by a richly illustrated publication prepared by Kuba Sowiński, serving as a comprehensive guide. The return of the Poster Museum to the Warsaw cultural map marks a significant moment after a multi-year hiatus due to thorough modernization. The exhibition's five chapters—The Young Poland movement, interwar artistic advertising, post-war propaganda, the artistic phenomenon of the Polish School of Posters, and modern graphic design—provide a structured overview of this significant artistic domain. The accompanying catalogue offers in-depth insights into the collection and the museum's history, making it a valuable resource for understanding the broader context of Polish graphic design and its cultural impact.
