한 주에도 여러번 지나다니는 6 에비뉴와 23가 길가에 Poster House가 있습니다. 매정하게도 저는 그곳을 조그마한 카페로 생각하고 몇년간을 그냥 지나쳤습니다. 저는 커피를 안좋아하고 커피맛을 모릅니다.
그런데 어느날 누군가가 괜찮은 뮤지엄이 이근처에 있다는 말을 듣고 혹시 여기가 그곳이 아닐까하는 생각으로 문을 살짝 열어 보았습니다. 문을 열어보니 겉보기와는 달리 꽤 크고 분위기가 있는 바로 그 뮤지엄이었습니다. 근대, 현대의 좋은 디자인의 상업 혹은 공공 포스터들을 모아 놓은 포스터 뮤지엄이었습니다.
마침 파리에서 시작하여 1930년대 유럽과 미국에 유행했던 아르데코 스타일의 포스터들을 전시하고 있었습니다. 1930년대의 멋과 맛을 흠뻑 느끼고 왔습니다.
There is a museum shop cafe on 6th Avenue and 23rd Street that I pass by several times a week. I thought it was a small cafe and passed it by for years. I don’t like coffee and don’t know how good it tastes.
Then, one day, someone told me a good museum was nearby, so I opened the door slightly, wondering if it was that place. When I opened the door, the museum was quite large and had a great atmosphere, contrary to its appearance. It was a poster museum that collected well-designed commercial or public posters from the modern and contemporary eras.
They happened to exhibit posters in the Art Deco style that started in Paris and was popular in Europe and the United States in the 1930s. I was able to fully experience the style and taste of the 1930s.
