The Germanic National Museum in Nuremberg dedicates a studio exhibition to the Swiss graphic designer and illustrator Herbert Leupin. Under the title “Herbert Leupin. Posters 1938–1974”, an important period of his artistic work is in focus.

The exhibition will be on view until November 1, 2026 at the museum on Kartäusergasse. Visitors will have the opportunity to become acquainted with Leupin's works in a concentrated exhibition setting. As a studio exhibition, the presentation focuses on the selected theme and invites attendees to examine the displayed posters as well as the artist's design approach attentively.

Graphic Design and Illustration in Focus

Herbert Leupin is known as a Swiss graphic designer and illustrator. The exhibition spans the time period from 1938 to 1974, making several decades of his work the theme. Posters connect typographic design, imagery, and public communication. They are both functional graphics and expressions of their respective design era.

For those interested in graphic design, illustration, poster art, and visual culture, the exhibition provides an opportunity to engage with the work of a formative Swiss designer. Additionally, visitors who want to rediscover the Germanic National Museum in Nuremberg can combine the exhibition with a museum visit.
