I rolled through the Olympic poster exhibition at the Museum of Childhood the other day. If you're into graphic design at all, then you'll know all about Mexico 68 and the insanity that was the poster campaign for the 1984 Los Angeles games.I'd never seen the Mexico design in pink though! How tough is that?

Totally Mexico...obviously

There is a very descent collection of posters from across the years designed by various masters including Andy Warhol, Robert Rauschenberg, Max Bill, Jacob Lawrence and David Hockney to name a few.Here's some craziness from a 1916 games poster.

I particularly liked this poster from the para-olympic games in Atlanta ('96). Very nice.

The V&A museum of childhood is great little place. It's a huge space that I believe used to be a train yard of some description. It's also free which is nice.

Just to mention though, don't take pictures. They don't like it. 'Apparently' there are signs prominently placed telling you as such. 'Apparently' they only have copyright for some of the images... which of course they are selling in the gift shop.
