Featuring nearly 30 pieces from the collection of The John and Mable Ringling Museum of Art and the Tibbals International Collection, the exhibit is comprised of French, British, German, Scandinavian, Russian and other Eastern European posters, and reflects the unique culture of each region. Curated by Kelly Zacovic, the posters range in date from 1905-1974 and remain on view until June 20. Here's a sneak peek of what to expect.
