The travelling exhibition showcases more than 200 high points of Dutch design over a hundred years. It is currently in Breda as part of the Graphic Design Festival.

The exhibition represents a broad spectrum of Dutch graphic design and includes representatives of Art Nouveau, De Stijl, Expressionism, Constructivism and post-war Rationalism. It will include posters and other work by Jan Toorop, Bart van der Leck, Piet Zwart, Paul Schuitema, Willem Sandberg, Jan Bons, Jan van Toorn and Wim Crouwel, among others.

After its premier at the National Museum for Contemporary Art in Bucharest, the exhibition will travel to a number of European cities until 2009, including Sofia, Budapest and Madrid. Workshops, lectures and programmes for students will be organized to stimulate knowledge exchange in Europe.

In addition to the exhibition 'The Golden Age of Dutch Graphic Design' the exhibition "Stad op Schrift" will also be on show in Breda.
