The London Transport Museum Poster Parade explores the concepts and themes of a unique archive of British graphic design.

‘Re-imagining Historic Posters’ (27 January- 27 April 2017) aimed to explore how classic designs have inspired a new generation of artists throughout London Transport’s history. Whether promoting travel etiquette or sightseeing in the capital, these posters show us how memorable designs and messages can be cleverly reinterpreted for contemporary audiences.

The exhibition was curated by the London Transport Museum’s Trainee Curators, Donata and Natasha, who also delivered public tours as part of the museum’s Friday lates.
