Victoria and Albert Museum now open until 8 ... is a 1937 by Beath, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This poster shows a simple, geometric design. A cube sits in the center, with one side cut away to reveal a black-and-white photo of a face inside. The background is a flat blue-gray color, and the text is bold and white. The museum’s name is at the top, and opening hours are listed below. The face inside the cube looks like an old stone mask, giving the poster a strange, almost empty feel. The artist used clean lines and stark contrasts to make it look modern.

White lines represent the door’s edges, while the text appears in black and white below the image and in blue across the top. The poster communicates the museum’s Thursday, Friday, and Saturday late closures at 8 p.m. and other days at 6 p.m.
