NaBloPoMo Day 6: the Poster Museum I never knew existed

Ok well this Poster Museum is idk less than 10 blocks from my apartment I've been living in for decades. I never knew it existed prior to two weeks ago when Bruce stumbled on an exhibit of Italians for Fascism posters and decided we definitely needed to go. 

I for sure walked by this Poster Museum
who knows how many times without noticing it.

This is a really striking exhibit, the Italian Fascist posters:

This red is not your usual museum beige.
Huge Props.

gotta love a skull.


...and no more posters after this.


We went down in the basement past this hallway of music posters:

Pretty cool.


Then there was this really nifty design your own poster interactive thing. We poked away at for probably way too long. It might have been for children, but yeah. I make no excuses.

you pick different styles and themes and it makes you a poster.







Oh, here's some more posters:


I mentioned to my book club that I went to the Poster Museum, and said something like, who knew there was a Poster Museum! On 23rd Street no less! 

Turns out, Audrey knew there was a poster museum, she's taken a bunch of classes there.

That looks like a fun place to visit.

THis is cool! I think the reason you never noticed it is from the outside it looks like a store, not a museum. Was it possible to print out the poster you designed? That would be extra cool.
