Posters from the past
About 400 posters provide an insight into China's past and ideological changes over the years.
Shanghai Lady posters, used to be known as Calendar Posters. They were created to promote Western goods such as cigarettes and medicine from 1920 to 1940. The fashionably dressed ladies in the posters are so beautifully painted, the iconic graphic style marrying art deco with Chinese brush painting, that until today they are still symbols of Shanghai romance.
