The 1980s: selected items from an iconic decade

The exhibition ran between September and December 2022.

A showcase display explores items from the Collections from the 1980s.

Our two work-experience students, who worked with Emma Minns (Assistant Curator of the Lettering, Printing and Graphic Design Collections) on the reorganisation of our twentieth-century poster collection, were excited to find our music posters. This then provided inspiration for this display, which was curated and hung by Emma and Hannah Smith, student assistant on a summer ‘collections placement’.
