There’s a new exhibition about the 1980's planned for the Novium Museum in Chichester.
Opening on the 7th of December, you can go back to the 1980s, capturing the decade from a child’s perspective.
This was a time when people were playing George Michael, Phil Collins, and Kate Bush on cassette, CD, and vinyl, and people wore shell suits.
Councillor Adrian Moss, Leader of Chichester District Council, says: “We’re really excited to be bringing this exhibition to Chichester. ‘I Grew Up 80s’ will be a nostalgic trip down memory lane for many of our visitors but will also provide an enlightening insight for younger visitors to see the differences between then and now.”
As well as exploring what childhood looked like for their parents, children can explore interactive elements of the exhibition including 80s dress up, trivia questions, games and 1980s themed toys, including many old childhood ‘must-haves’!
The exhibition will also feature a vintage Donkey Kong arcade game, which visitors can try their hand at for 50p per play.
‘I Grew Up 80s’ will replace the popular ‘Dinosaurs: Hungry Hatchlings’ exhibition, which closes on Saturday 9 November.
The exhibition will launch with a free ‘Celebration of the 1980s’ event on Saturday 7 December and the museum will also be running a special events programme including an 80s Bingo Night with Dawn Gracie on Friday 13 December.
