The London Transport Museum in Wellington Street, will host workshops, tours and exhibitions to keep the whole family entertained from February 15 to 20.

Behind the Poster highlights include the Strike a Pose workshop which will teach under-fives all about the human and animal characters from classic poster designs through dance and drama. 

Elsewhere, older children can design their very own poster in the Artist’s Studio and build an artwork of the capital in the creative Layers of London session.

Families can discover how Jewish artists contributed to London transport’s poster legacy, through stories shared by the team from the Jewish Museum London. The session will also offer  the chance to make posters in the artists’ celebrated styles.
