A Collection of 19th Century to Modern-Era Poster Masterpieces This collection brings together many posters which have brightened the atmosphere of street corners around the world.

The exhibition features such grand-masters as Lautrec, Bonnard, Klimt, Dali and Tsuguharu Foujita, as well as the masterpieces of graphic designers Mucha, Cassandre, Cheret, along with modern works by Hockney and Warhol. So come along and enjoy this stylish collection of gorgeous retro and modern works that transcend space and time. |
