‘You’re Bussing It!’ Exhibition
Transport for West Midlands (TfWM), part of the West Midlands Combined Authority (WMCA), has teamed up with Colmore Business Improvement District (BID), I Choose Birmingham, local illustrator Milan Topalović, and Wythall Transport Museum to bring a new, free outdoor exhibition ‘You’re Bussing It!’ to the city centre.
The exhibition showcases retro-style poster art, celebrating some of the region’s key visitor destinations like Dudley Zoo, Coventry City Centre and Birmingham’s Balti Triangle as part of a campaign to get more people to travel by bus.
The posters are part of Transport for West Midlands’ (TfWM) ongoing ‘You’re Bussing It’ promotional campaign and on display in Birmingham’s Colmore Row until April 15.
As well as showcasing Milan’s vibrant illustrations, the exhibition also includes early sketches and concept designs, offering a rare glimpse into the work behind the final posters. Alongside these, Wythall Transport Museum has provided a selection of heritage transport designs, celebrating the history of buses in the region and how they continue to shape everyday life.
Milan Topalovic said: “Seeing my work displayed in the heart of Birmingham is a huge moment for me. This exhibition offers people a view into the creative process behind the posters to see the details, sketches, and inspirations that shaped them.
“Whether they’re viewed fleetingly at a bus stop or up close in this exhibition, I hope my designs spark curiosity and encourage people to see bus travel in a new way – full of colour, character, and adventure.”
This exhibition is a free, public outdoor exhibition. For more details, visit https://www.tfwm.org.uk/plan-your-journey/ways-to-travel/buses-in-the-west-midlands/you-re-bussing-it-free-exhibition/
