Those who find regular museums boring and can’t look at old-timey paintings without fighting yawns will find a more fun museum visit at the Poster House in New York City. This cool new museum is bringing posters, an art medium often forgotten, to the forefront.
The Poster House is the first of its kind in the US, and its goal is to “present a global view of posters from their earliest appearance in the late 1800s, to their present-day use.” The 15,000-square-foot venue has over 7,000 historical posters and 1,000 contemporary ones — a collection that might seem staggering to those who have never given posters a second thought.
