Michael O’Connor Poster Collection

The Michael O’Connor Poster Collection is a singular eclectic gathering of international posters of historical and cultural significance. Comprising of over 2,800 items, the collection was generously donated by avid collector Michael O’Connor to the Limerick City Gallery of Art. Due to the magnitude of the collection, the majority of the posters cannot be displayed. In order to make the collection accessible to a wider audience, we designed an application that serves as a digital archive. Amongst multiple features, the app provides users with the ability to add information about lesser-known posters and has an augmented reality function that can be used while visiting the gallery. This project was completed in collaboration with Nick Pender.
