Dressed to DeliverUntil September 2024You can spot your postie by their brightly coloured get-up, but what is the history of their uniform and how has it changed? This exhibition at The Postal Museum explores Britain's famous postal uniform and how it has evolved throughout history. From smartly dressed Victorians to modern posties and their activewear uniforms have helped make postal workers an iconic feature of life in the UK.
Into Battle:The Art of British War ComicsUntil 30 April 2024This wonderful display examines the war comic's heyday via original artwork much of it on public display for the first time to tell the story of war comics decade by decade. A partnership with Rebellion Publishing, who bought the rights to Battle comic in 2016 and still publishes special editions of classics such as 2000AD, Roy of the Rovers and Battle Action. The exhibition draws on their extensive archives and features spectacular covers and action-packed panels from War Picture Library and Battle Picture Weekly.
Ephemera 4415-17 March 2024The Ephemera Society of America 44th Annual Conference and Fair will look at the ephemera of conflict and where possible, resolution. While war, national and international, may first come to mind, our topic will also include significant social or political movements where ephemera has been produced to advance an argument or as evidence of what transpired. The many sides of conflict can include non-aggressive or fervently anti-aggressive positions such as pacifism or diplomacy. Using satire and even humor in the cause of a serious argument can result in ephemera with a “bite.” For example, the Guerilla Girls art movement has sought to expose bias and corruption in the arts using stealthy and satirical forms of “attack.” Ephemera has also been a crucial component in propaganda and disinformation campaigns in a variety of conflicts. Ephemera 44 will include nine presentations relating to the topics of conflict and/or resolution, relying heavily on tangible ephemera. Don't miss the Ephemera Fair on Saturday March 16 and Sunday March 17 with 60+ Exhibitors specialising in Ephemera vintage posters, postcards, letters, photographs, tickets, brochures, advertisements, and so much more.
