PEACE ROO POSTER

Part of the permanent collection at the Victoria and Albert Museum, 'Peace Roo' is currently on show at the National Sports Museum in Melbourne as part of an exclusive touring exhibition called 'A Call to the Games: Olympic Posters'. 

Commissioned for the 2000 Olympic Games in Sydney Australia, the theme of this poster carries the message of peace and reconciliation between White Australia and its indigenous peoples. 

This message, coupled with the more global, general message of peace between all the peoples of the world, made it the most popular poster of the games.
