This powerful original poster was created for the landmark exhibition “Les Vikings”, held at the Grand Palais in Paris from April 2 to July 12, 1992. The exhibition was the 22nd Art Exhibition of the Council of Europe, a major cultural initiative that celebrated Viking history, craftsmanship, mythology, and legacy across the European continent.
Dominated by the dramatic silhouette of an ornately carved Viking ship's prow—its spiral figurehead looming into modernist typography—the design is a visual fusion of historical gravitas and contemporary elegance. Behind the ship, abstract waves in rich blue tones surge around a crimson sun, capturing the restless maritime energy and the mythic aura that surrounds Viking culture.
Printed for the Association Française d’Action Artistique and supported by the Council of Nordic Ministers, this poster is a striking piece of museum ephemera and a reminder of one of the most visually compelling historical exhibitions ever staged at the Grand Palais.
A stunning collectible for enthusiasts of Nordic heritage, exhibition graphics, or early ’90s French design.
