Art deco: the golden age of poster design

The new exhibition Art deco: the golden age of poster design at the Global Poster Gallery explores how art deco made its mark on London transport’s art and design heritage.

Marking the centenary of the 1925 Paris Exhibition where art deco originated, this is an opportunity to learn about the artistic moment, see unique artworks that have never been on public display, and explore the art deco and modernist architecture of Charles Holden in changing the face of London with his remarkable Tube station designs.

More than 100 original posters from London Transport Museum’s collection, alongside loans from significant collections are on display. This includes posters from design greats such as Edward McKnight Kauffer, Dora Batty, Jean Dupas and Munetsugu Satomi.

Entry to the Global Poster Gallery is free with your Museum admission.
