About the Shop

The name of the shop „Terry Posters“ is connected with repeated visits of the famous director Terry Gilliam, a member of the legendary group Monty Python, in Aero cinema. During one of his visits in autumn 1999, when Terry Gilliam was having a discussion with the cinema audience, all the persistent questioning might have made him take off his boots. Barefooted with his socks exposed he finished the discussion. This legendary moment was captured on nowadays just as legendary photo of Terry in his socks.

During the preparation phase of opening the shop and looking for a suitable name we have come across this far-back story. We asked Terry to let us name our shop Terry Posters after his socks and he kindly agreed. Also when shooting his film The Grimm Brothers which took place in the Czech Republic he popped in here and ceremoniously opened this shop on November 10, 2005. Under a slight pressure he endowed us with one of his socks (with a doggie application) which has been – together with his hand-written inscription – exhibited in front of our shop ever since. Thus Terry Gilliam has become a godfather of Terry Posters shop.
