Marimekko brings its 75th-anniversary print theme to Tainan with a pop-up at fcous in ART in the National Art Museum Tainan, running October 20–December 13, 2026. Unikko flowers, pink and green colours and displays at different heights connect clothing, bags and homewares along one viewing route. Taiwan also receives 11 hand-painted collectible works from a global series of 75, each priced at NT$10,900, extending the anniversary beyond a new pattern.
Print moves from fabric to glass and an arched entrance
The 2026 Art of Printmaking theme places print itself in the foreground. Repeated entrance arches establish a rhythm, while flowers first appear across large glass surfaces before pink, green and display furniture continue them inside. The motif crosses windows, walls and products, becoming a means of recognising the space rather than decoration restricted to a bag.
Pink, green and Unikko flowers connect the interior displays.
The display invites comparison: a flower enlarged on glass has a different relationship with the body and surrounding objects from the same motif reduced onto a cup, plate or garment. Design-minded visitors can begin with scale and then examine how colours connect the zones, even without shopping. Text and imagery along one side add background on the creative journey from drawing to printing.
What distinguishes the hand-painted collectible plates?
The anniversary works use free lines, flowers and colour blocks to create individual compositions. Each has its own number and 75th Anniversary-related lettering. Taiwan’s 11 pieces come from the globally limited series of 75 and are offered exclusively at this Tainan pop-up. Keep those quantities separate: global production is not Taiwan’s allocation, and the announced allocation does not guarantee daily remaining stock.
Lines and colour blocks reveal the anniversary plate’s brushwork.Free floral lines create an individual art-plate composition.
Collectors should check the individual composition, number, dimensions and condition, and ask about display or use-related care. Hand painting makes each piece different; one photographed example should not stand for the whole series. Regular cups, plates, textiles and bags raise a different question: how the same print language becomes part of repeated everyday use.

Opening hours and purchase offers
The address is No. 1, Section 2, Zhongyi Road, West Central District, Tainan. Announced hours are Tuesday–Sunday, 10am–6pm, closed Mondays, with free entry. This describes entry to the pop-up. Visitors also attending other museum exhibitions should check their tickets and opening rules separately, rather than using one schedule for every activity.
Purchases during the event may receive a limited postcard set, while a single transaction of NT$10,000 qualifies for a Taiwan-exclusive-colour tote, both while supplies last. Those exploring print can already trace a complete route from the entrance’s scale to product use and individual plate compositions. Anyone seeking a particular work or budgeting around gifts should check availability and conditions before visiting; an anniversary story is not live inventory information.
