Poster House is the first museum in the United States dedicated exclusively to posters.[1][2] The museum is located in Chelsea, New York City, on 23rd Street between Sixth Avenue and Seventh Avenue. The museum opened to the public on June 20, 2019.
History
Poster House was incorporated in 2015 and opened to the public on June 20, 2019.[3][4] Its logo was designed by Paula Scher of Pentagram.[5] The museum space, which formerly housed an Apple products repair store by the name of Tekserve, was redesigned by LTL Architects and Lumen Architecture.[6][7]
On June 19, 2019 SVA announced the donation of 98 of their Subway Series posters from 1996 to the present which also includes "each newly created poster." The gift includes works by Milton Glaser, Louise Fili, Paula Scher and the creator of the current SVA Subway Poster: Jonathon Rosen.[8]
