Milton Glaser Poster Show at MSURS

I’m pleased to share with you some images from the opening of the exhibition 'Here's What I've Learned So Far' by Milton Glaser at MSURS-Museum of Contemporary Art of Republic of Srpska, which was a part of the Museum Night 2026 event, on Saturday, May 23.

“The exhibition was realized in cooperation with the US Embassy in Bosnia and Herzegovina on the occasion of commemorating the 250th anniversary of the independence of the United States of America.

The exhibition is organized as part of the "Freedom 250" initiative, which marks the 250th anniversary of the founding of the United States of America and celebrates the ideals of freedom, creativity, and cultural exchange that still connect people around the world today.

The exhibition was opened by Daniel Koski, Deputy Chief of Mission of the US Embassy in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Assistant Minister of Education and Culture of Republika Srpska Tanja Đaković, director of MSURS Dr Sarita Vujković, and art historian Simona Čupić also spoke at the opening.

The posters presented at the exhibition are part of the collection donated to the MSURS by the designer and illustrator Mirko Ilić.

Milton Glaser (1929 – 2020) is one of the most influential creators of contemporary visual culture and the author of the cult logo ‘I ❤️ NY’. The exhibition presents a selection of posters and visual solutions by Milton Glaser, an author who marked the history of contemporary graphic design and the visual culture of the second half of the 20th century. His work strongly influenced the development of graphic design, illustration, typography, and visual communications, and he remained recognizable for the combination of playful psychedelic graphics, intense colors, and strong visual language.

A special segment of the exhibition is a selection of Glejzer's texts and reflections on art, design, and the responsibility of visual communication, which still today represent an important frame of reference for contemporary design practice.

His works are in the collections of the world's most important institutions, including the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York, the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, and the Center Georges Pompidou in Paris. He is the recipient of numerous international awards, including the National Medal of Arts awarded to him by US President Barack Obama in 2009, making him the first graphic designer to receive this award.”
