The founding of the school after World War II in 1953 was politically motivated. Building on Ulm\u2019s adult education center, the founders Inge Aicher-Scholl and Otl Aicher set up a school intentionally conceived to be anti-fascist and international and to have a democratic consciousness. Following in the lineage of the Bauhaus, the Ulm School of Design became a highly influential institution, adopting a professional approach to training industrial designers and providing them with a thorough scientific and theoretical education. Despite its closure in 1968 due to declining political support, the progressive ideas and solution-oriented methods of the Ulm School spread across the globe. The exhibition marks the closure of the Ulm School of Design 50 years ago and looks to selected works from the fields of product design, visual communication and photography to trace the school\u2019s objectives.
