Yarra Ranges Regional Museum is hosting Enjoy This Trip: The Art of Music Posters from 13 December.
Remember when music posters were actual art instead of Instagram stories?
The National Gallery does, and they’re shipping over 500 of them to Lilydale for the summer. Enjoy This Trip: The Art of Music Posters spans two decades of wild typography, experimental design and the kind of colour schemes that only make sense if you were there.

- 13 December 2025 to 22 February 2026

The exhibition pulls from the National Gallery’s collection of Australian and international music posters from the sixties through to the eighties. At its core sits a huge cache of posters acquired back in 1978 from collector Ben Friedman’s personal stash. The show covers everything from psychedelic rock gig announcements to new wave band promos, tracking how music culture evolved on both sides of the Pacific.
Yarra Ranges Regional Museum is running Enjoy This Trip: The Art of Music Posters through to 22 February 2026, giving everyone a solid two months to soak up the graphic design, typography and general aesthetic chaos of pre-digital music promotion. The museum opens Wednesday to Sunday and entry won’t cost you anything.
