While the Museum remains closed, the team are not standing still. We've been cleaning and preparing every part of the Museum to get ready to welcome visitors again soon.

We are launching a new blog series, Welcome Aboard, to keep you updated on how the Museum team are doing during lockdown. In the first instalment, our Director Sam Mullins visits the sleeping Museum for the first time in two months.

London Transport has a long tradition of commissioning established and emerging artists to design advertising posters for the transport network. London Transport Museum’s collection holds around 15,000 between posters, prints and original artworks. As part of our Poster Power online celebrations from 25 April to 3 May 2020, we have asked Nick Gill, London Transport Museum Friend and volunteer guide for 17 years, to tell us about his favourite poster in the Museum’s collection.

Zorian Clayton, Assistant Curator at the Victoria and Albert Museum presents a selection of posters from London Transport Museum's and V&A's poster collections showcasing a golden age of illustrative graphic design in the UK.

We’ve got something very special planned for February Half Term 2020: we are sending you and your family on a mission to explore our galleries and discover the signs and symbols that make London’s transport system the most recognisable in the world. Find out more!
