the great emigration - exhibition
The exhibition The Great Emigration consists of three different sets of posters which you can choose to use. The posters and other parts of the exhibition are free to use. We would like to hear more about your experiences with the exhibition, so please tell us if you are exhibiting it, and also take pictures of how you use it.
Practical:
The posters should be printed professionally, but can also be printed on a normal printer for use by schools or smaller groups. You are free to choose materials but we suggest printing on white PVC material in e.g. 3 mm thickness or Kapa cardboard (foam cardboard). A third option is to print the posters on thick paper or cardboard.
