Thinking about travel while at home

Smithsonian Air & Space Museum Poster Collection
I have been looking at vintage travel posters again, possibly for a spot in my home office. As I've been grounded since March due to COVID-19, travel has been on my mind. The Smithsonian Air & Space Museum Poster Collection has some cool vintage posters. The Air France Museum has a nice mix of posters and postcards. I'm running into difficulty finding a similar collection of official Pan Am travel posters or postcards. They certainly exist on eBay or as reprints on Amazon, but it is tough to know if those are knockoffs. I've seen other blogs focused on specific cities, such as Los Angeles. Instagram has a #travelposters feed, which gives some ideas.
Musee Air France.
The SFO Airport Museum has an exhibition of vintage Pan American travel posters on display in Terminal 2 Departures. I was hoping to find more, but the University of Miami's Pan Am World Airways Digital Collection doesn't have travel posters. For now, I'm parking this here.
