London Transport Museum

At London Transport Museum we've been working with our poster collection in all kinds of interesting ways. To mark the 150th anniversary of the Underground, the Museum worked with students from Central Saint Martins to bring Underground posters to life.

Second Year MA Character Animation students worked in groups to draw inspiration from the Museum's posters and create a series of amazing animations that celebrate the theme of 'London characters'.

The Tube map has been creatively adapted by artists and designers since it was introduced. Posters commissioned to promote the Underground have drawn on the map's distinctive form and exploited its popularity with the public.

Since 2004 artworks have been specially commissioned for the front cover of the pocket Tube map. In different ways, they respond to the map's design, function or status. The series has been commissioned by Art on the Underground, London Underground's public art programme.

These short films show a series of interviews with artists who have produced artworks for the Tube map cover. The films, produced by Jared Schiller, were commissioned by Art on the Underground and London Transport Museum especially for the Museum's 2012 exhibition, Mind the Map: inspiring art, design and cartography.

Produced by LTM's team of Young Consultants, YCs for Tube150, is a series of short films that capture and explore how the London Underground shapes our daily lives. Filmed during a landmark year for the history of London Underground, these compact documentaries provide an invaluable record of contemporary Tube travel, for both present and future museum audiences to enjoy.
