I was often told about Crystal Palace at school: an icon in 19th century engineering. A real poster which showed people how to get to such a famous place. It's great when school stuff comes to life!

Poster Parade: What is a Map?

This Poster Parade explores the question of what a map is and can be. It features a diverse range of posters that move away from the geographic representation of a map, exploring the many creative approaches to mapping London, its transport system and its commuters’ journeys. Do any of these posters remind you of a particular memory, experience or journey? What do you like/dislike about them? What do you find interesting? These are just some of the questions you may wish to explore. London Transport Museum would like to capture your responses to the posters in the collection. Your responses may be used as captions to the posters, which will be on display at the Museum in Covent Garden from 18th May to 12th July 2012. (40 words limit please)
