For the 21st time, the MAK turns its attention to the most innovative minds in graphic design. Making a clear statement as to their irreplaceable relevance, the exhibition 100 BEST POSTERS 25 highlights the top posters out of Germany, Austria, and Switzer-land. While digital media clamor for attention, these award-winning works show how design can be used to signal a stance.

Their bandwidth ranges from experimental self-commissioned work to highly efficient corporate designs. Moreover, the exhibition answers the question of how to be heard amid the visual noise of our time.

To accompany the exhibition, the catalog 100 Beste Plakate 25. Deutschland Österreich Schweiz/100 Best Posters 25. Germany Austria Switzerland will be published by Verlag Kettler, Dortmund, 2026.
