Jan Solpera Rounded

Jun 17 — Oct 4 2026
Exhibition hall „13“
The exhibition of Jan Solpera’s typographic work is part of a series devoted to the multifaceted field for which the term graphic design has become established also in our country. Following the success of previous exhibitions in this field, the Gallery of West Bohemia in Pilsen has decided to deliberately and systematically fill the void left in the Czech Republic by the cancellation of the legendary international Brno Biennale exhibition.

Spectacle: Entertainment Posters 1890–1938

Exhibition hall Masné krámy
The last quarter of the nineteenth century saw a massive development of organised, institutionalised and professionalised entertainment, alongside the development of modern society and changes in lifestyle. Large cities underwent a fundamental transformation, offering their inhabitants, who were enjoying the new phenomenon of leisure time, a concentrated range of entertainment venues, cultural and sporting events, and more or less bizarre shows and extravaganzas.
