Main entrance to the poster collection at the Austrian National Library. The former tenants of this building, the austrian emperors, had the foresight to have the door made large enough so that even today's huge posters can be brought in with no difficulty. The dark speck just right of the door, about 5 pixels high, is me.

Remy and Susanne invited us to their wedding in Vienna, and so I had a chance to visit the world's most beautiful poster collection (see picture at left) and also to look at the posters in the streets of Vienna. I found an abundance and variety hardly seen in any other city. Here is a short link list on Vienna's main attractions: Oesterreichische Nationalbibliothek Poster page with link list to all other austrian poster collections, an exhibition and publications archive, and more. The catalogue and a CD on the exhibition Verfuehrungen, and the poster book Das letzte Vivat can be purchased at the shop of the Austrian National Library. Exhibition: Graphic design in Vienna 1918 - 1938 Wiener Stadt- und Landesbibliothek Poster page with an online catalogue of 55'000 posters, and 6 online exhibitions CD review on austrian movie posters Book review on austrian tourist posters Gewista Vienna's largest billboard company Palmers The underware company with many provocative but price winning poster seen everywhere Dorotheum Auction house with occasional poster auctions

Christian Maryska, curator of the poster collection of the Austrian National Library. His office is on the top floor, just to the left of the balcony, from where he runs the library's excellent poster page. He credits much of the recent revival of interest in posters at the library to his boss, Marianne Jobst-Rieder.
