The LTM is home to over 7,000 items and our behind-the-scenes tour of part of the collection is a fascinating journey through a century of art and design.
The modern graphic poster came into use in the 1890s, revolutionising advertising and propaganda. In 1908, Frank Pick was given responsibility for London Underground’s publicity and went on to commission works by artists including Man Ray and Abraham Games.
