I Grew Up 80s
13 December – 15 March 2026

An entire generation has a chance to wallow in nostalgia with the fantastic free-to-visit exhibition, I Grew Up 80s (as seen on BBC Breakfast).

Take a trip back in time and explore the cultural landscape of 1980s Britain through the eyes of a child – revisiting the colourful vibrancy and innovation that defined the decade. From Betamax to BMX, Dirty Dancing to Donkey Kong, the Thompson Twins to Transformers.

I Grew Up 80s is a lovingly curated time capsule of over 200 treasures showcasing the youthful exuberance of this much-loved decade.

The museum is free to enter and you do not need to book to visit us or our exhibitions.
