The Collection of Museum Posters had its origins in the donation by the founder of the MDC and collector Antun Bauer. Since 1973, when the cataloging of the Collection began, 19,000 posters have been collected. The focus is on the Croatian museum posters published from the mid-20th century to the present time. The Collection documents exhibitions and other activities (lectures, campaigns, manifestations, festivals, etc.) of the Croatian museums and galleries and occasionally those from some European countries.

Most of the posters are by anonymous authors. Still, the Collection also holds numerous works by renowned Croatian artists and designers like Ivan Picelj, Boris Ljubičić, Boris Bućan, Ante Rašić, Nenad Dogan, D. Brčić, Miljenko Licul, Ranko Novak, Bruketa & Žinić, Sensus Design Factory, and others.

A significant group consists of posters, which the MDC commissioned to mark International Museum Day, and anti-war posters created during the Homeland War in Croatia. Both groups are very valuable, especially the posters that illustrate the recommended themes for International Museum Day.
