Polish Poster. The Collection - Part 2

The Poster Museum in Wilanów - the world’s first museum dedicated to posters - has reopened after a thorough renovation. The second rotation of its permanent display presents a collection of nearly 36,000 objects, from Young Poland-era posters to contemporary graphic design.

National Museum on the exhibition:

The Poster Museum in Wilanów is back! From Young Poland-era posters to contemporary graphic design projects - the Polish poster collection numbers nearly 36,000 objects. For the first time in the history of the world’s first poster museum, they will be presented as part of a permanent exhibition.

Because paper is fragile, the display will change every three months. The story it tells, however, will stay the same: a history of social, cultural, and political change that left its mark on posters.

The exhibition is divided into six chapters: from the Young Poland era, through the artistic advertising of the interwar period, postwar propaganda, the artistic phenomenon of the Polish poster school, to contemporary graphic design.

The Poster Museum returns to Warsaw’s map after several years’ absence, during which it underwent a thorough modernization. The new layout was designed by Syfon Studio.

What to expect

This rotation runs from 20 June to 13 September 2026 at the Poster Museum in Wilanów, a National Museum branch. It’s a rotating presentation of the permanent collection - the objects on view change every three months because paper is fragile, but the underlying structure (six chapters, from Young Poland to contemporary design) stays the same. Worth knowing: this is the world’s first museum dedicated exclusively to posters, freshly reopened after renovation.

Tickets and opening hours are on the National Museum’s website.
