  • From my guide, updated September 2026.

Home to more than 100,000 authentic posters from 1870 to the present, Philip Williams Posters is one of the largest vintage poster galleries in the world.

A passion project of renowned director and avid collector Philip Williams, the store opened 1973 with the intention of exhibiting (and selling) Williams’ personal collection of vintage posters from around the world.

40 years later and the extensive collection has grown so vast the brick-and-mortar shop expanded to an online presence. Whether you choose to sort through posters online or rummage the racks in person, there’s no denying that visiting Philip Williams Posters is one of the most unique it.
