About Lahti Poster Triennial:

The Lahti International Poster Triennial celebrated its twentieth exhibition in 2017, an event suitably coinciding with the centenary of Finnish independence. The next triennial will be held in 2021. The event is being postponed by a year, because the Poster Museum’s exhibition facilities at the old Art Museum in Vesijärvenkatu Street closed at the end of 2018.
