Description: | The Theatre Museum's main poster collection comprising posters collected directly from theatres, posters from various collections, and important posters purchased from salerooms or galleries. The collection does not aim to be comprehensive, and incoming posters are retained according to the quality of design, the importance of the work, artist or production, or if they relate to a major theatre or company. However, the collection is extremely large, holding somewhere in the region of 7000 posters and covering all aspects of theatre and performing arts, including circus, rock and pop, and music hall. The collection mainly concentrates on British productions, although there are some posters relating to foreign productions. | Format: | Playbills Posters | Subjects: | etc.); Circus; Rock music; Popular music; Theatrical posters Theater - Great Britain - History - 19th century; Theater - Great Britain - History - 20th century; Ballet; Modern dance; Opera; Music-halls (Variety-theaters cabarets | Temporal: | 19th century 1850- 20th century 21st century | Source: | Backstage | Address: | Blythe House, 23 Blythe Road, London,
