Posters to the fore at Acton Depot event

LONDON Transport Museum’s Acton Depot will be opening for a special‘The Art of the Poster’ event from Thursday, April 21 to Sunday, April 24.

Visitors can step behind the scenes of the museum’s normally-closed art and poster stores, as expert guides reveal how poster design has characterised London and its transport for more than 100 years.

Visitors can create their own posters in creative workshops, and a line-up of talks with artists, curators, and historians will also be on offer at selected times throughout the four days.

On April 23/24, the London Transport Miniature Railway will be running for visitors to hop aboard replica models of Underground trains used on the Metropolitan line between the 1920s and 1960s.

Timed tickets must be booked in advance at www.ltmuseum. co.uk/whats-on/depot-openweekends/art-poster
