Discover more than 100 original works of Swiss poster art from the last 120 years.
Short Films
The short film series «Auf Stein gedruckt» accompanies the exhibition and offers a vivid glimpse into the history and development of Swiss poster art. At the same time, it uses social media to draw the attention of a new audience to this largely forgotten cultural heritage.
In addition, a short documentary film in the exhibition offers insights into the fascinating craft of poster restoration. The restored original poster is on display next to it.
Contest for young people
ViPArt is particularly committed to introducing future generations to the culture and history of poster art. The association is running a contest with attractive prizes for young people up to age 18.
Prizes include two original vintage posters and two hand-printed lithographs featuring designs for travel destinations. The contest entry form is available at the reception desk.
Herbert Leupin, 1951
