Poster Art 150: London Underground’s Greatest Designs

The London Transport Museum’s popular exhibition features 150 of the greatest posters produced for the London Underground which celebrates its 150th anniversary.

The quality of the Underground's poster designs is recognised worldwide, ever since the first poster was commissioned in 1908, and its archive includes over 3,300 examples.

The exhibition includes posters by many famous artists such as Man Ray, Edward McKnight Kauffer, Graham Sutherland, Paul Nash and Harry Beck, with designs from each decade over the last century divided into various themes.

The last major Underground poster retrospective was held in 1963 on the occasion of the Underground's centenary.
