The museum of propaganda


I was very happy when I first heard about the Museum of Censorship and its exhibitions of propaganda history. However, when I learned that the project is just a practice in graphic design, I realized that the museum has to be compiled by me. I have been doing this ever since. The following collection is only a small part of this ever growing museum, of all that is still waiting to be written. Look back often.
