Take a trip. Experience the psychedelic era through 300 rock posters and the music, art and culture that inspired their experimental design. Encounter the sights and sounds of the psychedelic era through video, music and interactive activities. Freak out to the wall of sound or make your own groovy light show. Travel through the early years of poster-making when artists were inspired by the sensory overload of the dancehall environment to the later years when posters took on a cool and reserved vibe.
