There are various series at the Olympic posters: posters to Olympic individual disciplines, art posters of renowned artists and advertising posters for the cultural and ecclesiastical accompanying program. For example, the great orchestra and ballet companies of the world appeared during the games in Munich. These official poster series were created on behalf of the International Olympic Committee as organisers, which also manages the rights of use. A few additional posters refer to other accompanying events such as an exhibition by the Bavarian National Museum. The poster collection of the Bavarian Main State Archive contains over 50,000 posters. In addition to cultural and advertising posters, political posters dominate with a focus on the first half of the 20. Century. You can find the poster collection HIER>>.
