Posters at Home and War- free exhibit opening November 22

This temporary exhibit will feature over 60 posters from WWI, WWII and the Cold War used by government and commercial agencies as a way to mobilize America for war. Their messages were straightforward and simple, reinforced by colorful and powerful imagery. These posters related to people of all ages and backgrounds, encouraging their support on the home front.
