In 2022, the Jean Monnet Foundation for Europe acquired 5’000 posters dating from the immediate post-war period to the present day.
Some promote Europe, others advocate national sovereignty, but all bear witness to their time, to the issues of the day, and pass on an invaluable iconographic, social and political history.
The documents in this exhibition reveal a highly graphic Europe.
Provocative, amusing or simply beautiful, these posters are designed to capture attention with a strong, immediately understandable message.
Between solidarity and withdrawal, mockery and positive message, marketing and propaganda, these documents remind us of the complexity of European issues.
