Poster collection of the Basel School of Design

The Basel School of Design collection contains visual works emphasizing typography, color theory, and communication techniques through poster designs from multiple artistic periods.

Since its establishment in 1896, the collection has documented the progression of Swiss graphic design through thousands of posters created by students and educators.

The collection displays the development of Swiss design principles, including precision, minimalism, and effective visual communication through poster art and typography.

Located near Basel city center, the archive provides research opportunities and reference materials for design students, professionals, and scholars throughout the year.

Each poster in the collection undergoes preservation processes to maintain paper quality and color integrity while documenting specific design techniques and materials.
