Poster House

Poster House is a museum in Manhattan dedicated to the art and history of poster design and visual communication. The galleries feature works from around the world spanning different decades and artistic movements, displaying both commercial and artistic posters.

The museum opened in 2019 as the first institution in the United States dedicated entirely to poster design and visual communication. The renovated building was created to provide a proper space where these graphic works could be displayed and preserved.

The museum displays posters from different countries and periods that show how artists use images and words to communicate with people. Visitors see works that reflect society, politics, and fashion, understanding how posters became part of everyday life.

The museum is open from Wednesday through Monday from 11 AM to 6 PM and offers full accessibility for visitors with mobility needs. Plan your visit by checking ahead for any special exhibitions or quiet times if you prefer a less crowded experience.

The museum uses special display systems that allow visitors to view posters from different angles while protecting these delicate paper objects. These innovative displays help preserve both the details and condition of historical works for future viewing.
