The V&A Museum of Childhood in London will host an exhibition of Olympic Games posters spanning from 1900 to the present day. More than 100 posters will be on display, including work by David Hockney and Andy Warhol. The exhibition will be at the V&A Museum of Childhood from 17 May 2008 until 7 September 2008. It will then tour to museums and galleries in the UK and internationally as part of the build up to the London 2012 Olympics. Posters are an important means of communication for the Olympic Games and shape expectations of the Games to come. The exhibition explores how the posters were used to convey messages to an international audience about the look and feel of individual Games through eye-catching and memorable imagery.
