Wed-Mon 11.00–19.00

This time the museum exhibits the commercial posters of the period between 1945 and 1989, with the help of which we can trace the typical styles of the certain decades; we can get to know the most widely advertised products and shops, the most often used slogans of the different eras. The posters placed on advertising pillars recreate the atmosphere of the streets of the by now historical times, which is further enhanced by the photos of the typical shops, as well as the shop-windows and interiors furnished with period products. It is some socio-deco design!
