Stick No Bills®️ Asia Flagship Gallery
About This Museum
People don't just stumble into the Stick No Bills gallery in Galle Fort; they come with a purpose, seeking a vibrant hit of nostalgia and a portal to a more romantic, hand-printed era. It's a celebration of vintage Asian travel and cinema posters, where every wall is a riot of colour and bold graphic design. You'll find yourself lost in the stories behind these beautiful artefacts, from Ceylon Railways ads to dramatic Bollywood scenes. The overall feeling is less like a sterile museum and more like stepping into a carefully curated treasure chest of bygone cool.
Collection Highlights
The collection dazzles with original mid-century posters—think stylised peacocks for Air Ceylon and dramatic figures from classic Sinhalese cinema. One of their gems is the iconic 'Ceylon' tourist poster with its lush, tropical palette that perfectly captures the island's allure.
Visitor Information
It's tucked away on Pedlar Street inside the historic Galle Fort walls, so it's the perfect cultural pit-stop while exploring. And yes, you can actually take home a piece of this history, as they sell high-quality art prints of all the posters on display.
Architecture & Building
Housed in a charming, whitewashed Dutch colonial-era building with characteristic thick walls and large shuttered windows, perfectly blending the historic setting with its modern-graphic interior.
