Challenge 459: In the shelter
This Second World War bomb shelter is an exhibit in London's Museum of the Docklands, and we've had a few Challenges from here before. It's a sparse, sterile exhibit: with no clutter, no people and no period artefacts, it's just an empty space. How would you, as a museum designer, make this have more resonance for the visiting public? High res is here.

Couldn't decide whether colour was better or give it a period feel of black and white

Yes, this is a genuine World War II poster. No, I don't know what happened on that train either.  _________________ I'm not really bad - I just draw that way |

Re: Challenge 459: In the shelter
Well that's another beautiful illusion shattered !
It also explains why the image had been removed from a site of (presumably genuine) WWII posters when I revisited.What a shame. _________________ I'm not really bad - I just draw that way |

Hi Josephine, Maybe this is the official one. Edit: Sorry Ben Mills, I didn't follow your link yet. Now I see... I found the poster at Google graphics.

As a museum designer, this is my idea in how to make this shelter more interesting for the visiting public.

 Wait a minute! A bomb shelter is a shelter FROM bombs, not FOR bombs.
