Toulouse-Lautrec's first Moulin Rouge poster went up in 1891 in 2,000 copies and, as To Vima tells it, made him famous almost overnight. It hangs here with Bonnard's France-Champagne, the advert that got him making posters in the first place.
You walk in through a deep red entrance meant to recall Montmartre's cabarets, and the posters hang under glowing lights on velvet carpet. About 90 works by 15 artists cover 1880 to 1900, mostly lithographs and drawings, alongside photographs of posters on real Paris walls and early films by the Lumière brothers and Méliès mocking the poster ban. Exarchia's walls have been ignoring that ban ever since.
To Vima's reviewer found it engaging, and the show makes room for the era's harder side too, from child labour to the Dreyfus Affair. Tickets are €16 (€13 concession), Fridays run to 20:00, and 50-minute guided tours start Fridays at 19:00 and weekends at 12:00 and 16:00.

Chéret's chérettes
Jules Chéret's red-haired women in yellow dresses were so recognisable that Paris named them after him.

A small girl hauls a huge basket of washing, a scene To Vima ties to the era's limits on child labour.
Kandinsky's brasserie poster that never ran
His 1906-07 sketch for a French beer advert was never produced, and its tones are far darker than anything around it.
Films mocking the poster ban
The Lumière brothers' The Poster-Pasters and Méliès' Post No Bills poke fun at the rules against sticking posters on walls.
