The Basel Library of Design has unique special collections on early architectural theory and architecture, the history of type, books, and typography, and offers more than 130,000 titles on architecture, design, crafts, visual communication, photography, fashion, contemporary art, and other design-related topics. The library is open to the public and use is free of charge.
The poster collection has the task of collecting Swiss poster art in the past and present, of scientifically processing it, and of presenting it to the interested public in exhibitions and publications. The approximately 100,000 posters and 150,000 other printed items are an inexhaustible source of information on the history of visual culture in Switzerland. The collection is open to interested parties from all fields and sees itself as a research archive for teachers and students at all levels and institutions.
Both collections are part of the Basel School of Design.
