The main idea behind the exhibition to be organized on the 150th anniversary of the artist is to present the graphics collection owned by the museum. Since the earlies page in the collection is from 1892, the exhibition is to provide possible interpretation of the last years (1891–1901).of the artist, his lithographies involved mainly.

In addition to two drawings from the Majovszky Collection, (The Ball Room of Moulin Rouge, Portrait of the Singer lle Cocyte) the museum owns over 200 lithographies from the printed paper collection of Toulouse-Lautrec's oeuvre of 368, 10 of them are large posters with some book illustrations and albums as well. (Yvette Guilbert).

The representative collection of graphics are from the conscious acquiring of the museum before WWI, the first pages being purchases one year after the death of the artist, in 1901. The museum was in cooperation with the greatest art antiquarians from France and Germany, this is the reason why the museum has so many signed and numbered pages.

We have many prints of which there is only four or five in the world. The museum collection is large enough for us to provide a comprehensive review both of the graphic artist Toulouse-Lautrec and also in terms of thematics. A curiosity is that certain compositions are to be found in the collection is several phase print and various colours, and through them the visitors may have a look inside the process of work.

The exhibition is to show places and people in Paris who were related to the artist in a thematic order, including scenes of his private life, portraying his personality and his representation of types. We also study popular and high arr, and the boundaries between them. The most overall section revisits the most important places of entertainment industry: cafés, nightclubs and cabarets (Moulin Rouge, Mirliton). Another section deals with theatre posters and theatre bills (eg. Sarah Berhardt as Marcelle Lender), as well as the audience in the auditorium.

Bordels are again a separate unit, with the These Ladies in the Dining Room in focus, was purchased by the museum from the Ernst Museum in 1913 The other important picture in this section is the 'Elles' series from 1896. The last unit focuses on the world of stars, with the most important artists in Paris at the beginning of the century many of whom became famous through the works of Toulouse-Lautrec (Aristide Bruant, Jane Avril, Loïe Fuller, Marcel Lender, Yvette Guilbert).

Archive photos, films even music remembers the Paris of „belle epoque". The graphics collection also involved Bonnard, Steinlen, Ibels so that the graphic oeuvre of Toulouse-Lautrec is demonstrated in a larger context.
