Scope and content
This is a collection of art-related posters that have no connection to the Indianapolis Museum of Art (IMA). Most were sent to the IMA as promotional materials for artists, exhibitions, and/or galleries. Items were housed in Print Storage or in the Stout Reference Library's artist files until transfer to Archives in 2016. Posters from US and international art museums were also included in the transfer, but those were note retained for inclusion in this collection. The Library continues to add to this collection.
System of arrangement
The posters have been divided into three groups: Indiana, Galleries, and Miscellaneous. Within each group, the posters have been organized by size (for storage reasons), from smallest to largest. Full descriptions of individual items can be found in container listing.
