Changing "Type" field of infobox

Hello! I would first like to say that I'm a Poster House employee with a conflict of interest. I've added myself to the list of COI editors at the top of this Talk page. If you want to see my full disclosure, you can view it by visiting my user page.

With that said, I have a modest first request: would it be possible to change the "Type" field in the infobox from "Poster museum" to "Art museum"? While Poster House is obviously both, Art museum has its own Wikipedia article while Poster museum does not. It's a small thing, but I figure that if the infobox is going to categorize the museum a certain way, that categorization should probably link to another page.

Thanks in advance to whoever handles this request. Cheers! Aaron at Poster House (talk) 20:01, 7 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Thanks for your note, Aaron. I've made this change as it's a reasonable request that helps the reader as well. "Your" posters are art, but another collection could be history, etc. Star Mississippi 03:52, 8 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Appreciate the help, User:Star Mississippi! I have a new request below this one, if you'd like to check it out. (And if not, no worries!) Aaron at Poster House (talk) 15:54, 19 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Converting Building and Collection to History

Hello! For my next request, I want to ask about converting the Building and Collection section into a History. To facilitate that change, I've added to and lightly rewritten the existing section. It's still quite short, just three sentences, but the museum is relatively new and I think I've put together something that can be built upon over time. Here is my section draft and references:

Poster House was incorporated in 2015[1] and opened to the public on June 20, 2019.[2] Its logo was designed by Paula Scher of Pentagram.[3] The museum space, which formerly housed an Apple products repair store, was redesigned by LTL Architects and Lumen Architecture.[4][5]

Thank you in advance to any independent editors who review this. If you have any questions or feedback, please leave a comment below and I'll do my best to address it. Cheers! Aaron at Poster House (talk) 15:51, 19 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I've done this, and also combined the short section below it. We can separate them again if either gets too long. The only edit I made to your text, Aaron, is to move the first ref to the end of the sentence for flow. IMO, the incorporation date isn't sufficiently controversial that folks will need it immediately. Star Mississippi 01:23, 20 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Awesome! Thanks again, User:Star Mississippi. Aaron at Poster House (talk) 17:23, 25 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Adding Exhibition history subsection

Hello again! I'd like to propose a new subsection for the History, which I've titled Exhibition history. The subsection identifies and briefly details ten shows that Poster House has put on over the past five years. I've been careful to only include exhibitions that have received coverage in reputable press outlets. Please see my draft below:

Extended content

Poster House's first exhibition, in June 2019, featured more than 80 posters by the Czech graphic designer Alphonse Mucha.[1] A February 2020 exhibition called The Swiss Grid examined influential Swiss design and typographic style.[2]

In April 2021, Poster House held an exhibition featuring the work of Julius Klinger.[3] In September 2021, the museum opened You Can't Bleed Me, which displayed posters and marketing materials from notable Blaxploitation films such as Slaughter and Coffy.[4] That same month, it opened an exhibition containing over 200 posters from the New York-based design and illustration firm Push Pin Studios.[5]

In March 2022, Poster House opened Ethel Reed: I Am My Own Person, a show featuring poster and magazine cover illustrations Reed designed in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.[6][7]

Black Power to Black People, an exhibition featuring the history, art, and branding of the Black Panther Party, began in March 2023.[8] That month also marked the opening of Made in Japan, which focused on World War II and Post-War Era Japanese poster art.[9] Other 2023 exhibitions included Art Deco: Commercializing the Avant-Garde, a 53-piece show examining the use of Art Deco in mid-century advertisements, and We Tried To Warn You!, which featured environmental movement posters and advertisements from the 1970s through the 2000s.[10][11]
