Science posters: where curiosity becomes wall art

The Science collection at MORYARTY celebrates the graphic language of discovery: diagrams, observatory plates, field studies, and engineering drawings translated into refined poster and art print formats. These images were made to explain the world, yet they also excel as decoration: clean lines, confident typography, and measured compositions that sit naturally in contemporary home decor. Think of them as conversation pieces for a gallery wall, but with an extra charge of meaning: the pleasure of learning, cataloguing, and imagining. If your eye gravitates toward cosmic imagery and technological optimism, start with our Space selection, then return here to build a coherent visual story across rooms.

Color theory, optics, and modernist clarity

Scientific illustration often anticipates modern design, especially where color and perception are concerned. Cercle chromatique by Eugène Chevreul offers a rigorous, elegant spectrum that reads like an artwork in its own right, ideal as wall art for studios or creative offices. Pair it with Geological Chart by Levi Walter Yaggy to keep the palette disciplined while introducing structure and depth. For a cooler, graphic counterpoint, explore Black & White or add a more experimental rhythm from Abstract. The result is a vintage-informed print ensemble that feels crisp rather than nostalgic.

From star maps to the romance of the night sky

Astronomy prints are among the most striking ways to bring scale into a room. The great comet of 1881 by E. L. Trouvelot captures the observational wonder of the 19th century with dramatic accuracy, while Map of Outer Space by Rand McNally & Co (1969) channels a later, mid-century confidence in exploration. These posters work beautifully as home decor above a desk, in a hallway, or as the anchoring piece of a gallery wall. If you enjoy cartographic precision, continue into Maps for more coordinates, grids, and horizons.

Natural history and engineered objects: precision with warmth

Science is not only about distant planets; it also lingers in the tactile world of specimens and inventions. Ernst Haeckel’s Hexacoralla–Sechsstrahlige Sternkorallen turns marine biology into ornament, a graceful bridge between empirical study and visual pleasure. It pairs naturally with softer, plant-forward imagery from Botanical, especially in kitchens and dining spaces where decoration benefits from organic forms. For a more industrial mood, mix in patent drawings from the Science collection to create contrast: delicate linework against mechanical geometry. However you curate it, each vintage poster here keeps the promise of the collection: disciplined information, beautifully printed as wall art.
