Sewerby Hall new exhibition to take visitors back in time and celebrate the 1990s

The Exhibition is called ‘Cool Britannia: Britain in the 1990s’ and will be open from Saturday January 14.

Janice Smith, curator at Sewerby Hall, said: “The exhibition reminds us of what a rollercoaster of a decade the 1990s really was! There is something in the exhibition for everyone.

“It’ll transport many back to the popular culture of the era, with TV shows like The Big Breakfast, the Fast Show, and Men Behaving Badly, or films like Trainspotting and The Full Monty. Posters and music magazine covers remind us of the epic battle between Blur and Oasis, and the arrival of the Spice Girls.

“It’s also a great exhibition for younger ones, as many of the things that they enjoy today began in the 90s. Films and TV shows like Harry Potter, the Teletubbies and Pokémon are still as popular as ever, as are technology developments like the Internet and PlayStation.

“In contrast, younger ones might be intrigued by floppy disks or the quirks of the era like Tamagotchis and Furbies!”

The Exhibition will include displays like:

The Digital Decade Game On Blair’s Britain is born 1990s TV Cool Britannia The People’s Princess The New Millennium
