Deutsches Plakat Museum Essen, Poster art museum in Essen, Germany.

The Deutsches Plakat Museum holds a collection of 350,000 posters covering political, commercial, and cultural subjects from the late 19th century to present day.

Founded in 1974 through private initiatives and municipal support, the museum emerged from an important French poster collection acquisition made in 1964.

The museum displays works from notable graphic designers through temporary exhibitions at Museum Folkwang, reflecting societal changes and artistic movements.

The museum operates as an independent department of Museum Folkwang since 2008, with exhibitions rotated regularly due to conservation requirements.

The collection contains the largest assemblage of German posters in the world, documenting historical moments through visual communication across different periods.
