An immersive look at the bold, brash, and contradictory culture of 1980s Britain
The 1980s was a decade of excess, greed, riots, and cultural transformation. From political clashes and economic shifts to the rise of consumerism, fitness fads, and flamboyant fashion, 1980s Britain: Money Changes Everything captures the contradictions of the era.
Featuring photography, music, and memorabilia, it highlights the decade’s defining moments, from Thatcherism and the boom-and-bust economy to the emergence of new technologies. Whether it’s power dressing, charity concerts, or the dawn of home computing, this exhibition explores how the 80s shaped modern Britain and left a lasting cultural legacy.
