The BIB 60th Anniversary Exhibition celebrates six decades of the Biennial of Illustrations 

Bratislava (BIB), one of the world’s most prestigious competitions for picture book 

illustration, while highlighting the deep cultural ties between Nami Island and Slovakia.

Founded in 1967, BIB is the world’s oldest international biennale dedicated to picture 

book illustration and serves as a key platform for presenting global trends in the field. 

Co-organized with the Embassy of the Slovak Republic in Seoul and BIBIANA

works—from historic Grand Prix–winning illustrations to the latest award-winning works 

of 2025, as well as notable Korean–Slovak award-winning works—offering visitors an
