While COVID-19 forced London's newly opened Vagina Museum to close, the art gallery still plans to revive its brand and continue to raise awareness and acceptance through art.
After raising funds, the museum is slated to re-open, and luckily received promotional help from three artists willing to work pro-bono. As a result, a campaign has now launched throughout London, showcasing innuendo-filled posters that are eye-catching, and boundry-pushing. The content of the campaign makes it hard to ignore, and the brand hopes it results in an influx in donations to help the museum stay open. The text to promote the museum's opening playfully reads 'Open Soon' alongside a date.
The ads artwork was collected from 58 different artists.
