Over the past 100 years, the modern Olympic Games have come to represent the pinnacle of athletic achievement, and now occupy a place on a global stage as 'the greatest sporting show on Earth'.

This vibrant new exhibition will explore the fascinating representation of the Olympic Games through the intensely visual medium of the poster. Marking the Beijing Olympic Games of 2008 and the build-up to London 2012, exhibits will be drawn from the V&A's rich collections of posters and ephemera, including stunning recent acquisitions. Exhibition organised by the V&A, London.
