Background
Poster House, which opened its doors in 2019, is dedicated to presenting the impact, culture, and design of posters, both as historical documents and methods of contemporary visual communication.
As the first poster museum in the United States, Poster House provides a space for inquiry for all those interested in design, advertising, and public interventions, with an aim to improve design literacy among the general public.
Through temporary exhibitions, a growing permanent collection, and educational events, Poster House explores the enormous impact of posters on society and culture, and how they have been adapted to contemporary use.
