The sound of a
Polish Cold War Neon museum might not give curators at the
MoMa any sleepless nights, but the old warehouse in SoHo Factory area of Warsaw is a design must-see. The space is the bricks-and-mortar continuation of
the book which captured the
world's attention.
But it's the museum
gift shop boutique that comes up trumps. Forget postcards and pencil-sharpeners. Alongside the book that started it all, are one-off typographic prints, ceramics and sculpture featuring the high-voltage fonts. With the popularity of heavy-hitting neon artists like
Chris Bracey and
Tracy Emin the museum's future looks very bright! Expect some specially commissioned neon art to be featured here soon.
