7 bold museum prints for dull, dull walls

What you put on your walls says a lot about you as a person. ‘I really like to live, laugh, love,’ for example. So, what better way to show how culturally in tune you are than by plastering your interiors with prints from our city’s gatekeepers of taste?

London’s museums, galleries and virtual archives sell prints for as little as a fiver. Browsing their collections is a great way to find something cool to spruce up your walls with, while also supporting our city’s institutions after a very tough couple of years. Plus, we guarantee you’ll feel a little more connected to the wall art you pick than to that New York skyline Ikea number.

Here are some of our current favourites, from the Imperial War Museum’s slogan graphics to the Vagina Museum’s paint chart of period blood.
