What people say, in short
Poster House appeals to visitors interested in graphic design and the stories carried by posters. Commenters praise its curation and past exhibitions on art deco, environmental messaging, Indian cinema and Soviet propaganda. Its compact size makes it a short stop for one visitor, though another wished it were larger. The appeal depends on the particular exhibition and its often specialised subject.
