Is there a piece of Irish aviation history hiding in your attic...?! At the National Print Museum, we believe that history isn't just found in archives, it's found in your cupboards, scrapbooks, and old suitcases. We are excited to announce that we are working on…

an exhibition exploring how Irish aviation development shaped Irish tourism and the growth of Irish graphic design. To do this, we are currently bringing together examples of printed ephemera from the 1940s, 1950s, and 1960s. #Aviation #AviationHistory #GraphicDesign #Print
