Back to the 1980s

MUSEUM'S NOSTALGIC EXHIBITION

- By COREENA FORD

MY Little Pony, the Rubik's Cube and Duran Duran record covers are just some of the nostalgic memorabilia on display at a special exhibition.

Champney Treasure House in Beverley has launched the 1980s Britain: Money Changes Everything exhibit, delving into the past to explore the technology, fashion and historic changes of a decade of significant cultural and political change.

The 1980s was known for its vibrant pop culture defined by materialism, new music and dubious fashion trends from neon leg warmers and coloured specs to shoulder pads, skinny ties and power suits. It was also a time of conflict and optimism, with the development of the internet overshadowed by major world events.
