This was my first landing at ZZZ. Landed safely and as I was rolling to exit [the runway] wind gust blew my plane to the right side of the runway; into the grass where I ran into a sign. In the correction process of getting the airplane back into the wing scraped another sign. Both signs were damaged but; I believe; returned immediately to service. The airplane sustained minor damage to the wings.As I was on final; the wind direction changed from 11:00 o'clock to my 9:00 o'clock; effectively a crosswind or a wind shear that blew my plane to right; which made me lose control momentarily. I recovered and taxied safely to the FBO but not before the collision.Lesson learned... The winds and conditions at this airport are unpredictable. The wind directions can abruptly change. Next time I will pay more attention to the wind socks on the field as I takeoff or from a safe altitude above before choosing a runway to land. I will not [fail to] ask for and validate the advisories before I commit to and line up for landing.
Mooney M20 pilot reported loss of directional control following a crosswind landing resulted in contact with airport signs.
