Danish Poster Museum, Poster museum in The Old Town, Aarhus, Denmark.
The Danish Poster Museum holds an extensive collection of posters from Denmark and many other countries across two floors. The works on display range from commercial advertisements to artistic designs created by graphic artists and designers.
The museum grew from a private collection gathered by an artist and was formally established during the 1990s. It later relocated to its current location in the Aarhus neighborhood as the collection expanded.
The collection shows how graphic artists shaped public communication through poster design over generations. You can observe the visual language that connected people to messages about products, events, and ideas in daily life.
The museum is easy to reach on foot or by public transport in a lively neighborhood with other attractions nearby. Plan to spend a couple of hours exploring the collection at your own pace.
A featured exhibition displays posters focused on environmental and climate themes spanning over a century of campaigns. These works reveal how artists visually communicated important social messages through graphic design.
