Through temporary exhibitions, a growing permanent collection, and educational events, this museum explores                     the enormous impact of posters on society and culture, and how they have been adapted to contemporary use. As the first poster museum in the United States, it provides a space for inquiry for all those interested in design, advertising, and public interventions, with the aim of improving design literacy among the general public.  Posters explore: 
mass communication and persuasion
the intersection of art and commerce
control of the public domain
