Guided tour of the exhibition «ISOTYPE – Eine Bildsprache für alle» opened that day, on Otto Neurath and Marie Neurath and their ISOTYPE method.
The visual language originated in the 1920s as the «Wiener Methode der Bildstatistik» at the G&WM and went around the world as ISOTYPE. Then as now, the aim is to make social and economic connections understandable to as many people as possible through visually accessible pictograms.
