History of poster art and design : London Transport Museum

The Global Poster Gallery

The Global Poster Gallery, which is dedicated to the history of poster art and design, is now open at London Transport Museum (C) TfL from London Transport Museum’s collection,

The new gallery, sponsored by Media & Entertainment Group Global, showcases this collection and is first permanent gallery dedicated to the history of poster art and design. 

The Museum has one of the world’s largest collections of twentieth century graphic art and design, with 1,000 original poster artworks and over 30,000 posters housed at its Museum Depot in Acton, west London. 

Together, these reflect the Underground and London Transport’s reputation for commissioning great works of commercial art and design. 

Exhibitions hosted in the Global Poster Gallery will feature artistic works from the Museum’s collection together with loans from private, national, and international archives, from the 1900s to the present day.
