Designed for War: The graphic power of Second World War posters
Saturday 3 May – Wednesday 23 July 2025
Marking the 80th Anniversary of VE Day, this exhibition explores the power of design in shaping public perception and fueling the war effort. Highlighting a wide selection of posters donated to Craven Museum by W.W Holgate which were collected during the war itself alongside objects from the museum’s collection, it connects national narratives to the local histories of Craven and beyond.
