Historically Hardcore is a series of promo posters designed by Jenny Burrows and Matt Kappler as part of a portfolio project. The Smithsonian was unaware of their creation until the clever ads went viral, at which point the Smithsonian asked Jenny to remove them from her portfolio or edit out any mention of the esteemed museum. However, the posters themselves (which ARE historically accurate) would be quite amazing to see as actual ads if there were more of them.
