Museum of Youth Culture

My friends Mark Wigan (www.wigansworld.com)  

and Kerry Baldry (http://kerrybaldry.com/)

are the brains behind The Museum of Club Culture which is located in the city of Hull on the northeast coast of England – and is, I can promise you because I’ve been up there myself, the best damn Museum of Club Culture you will find anywhere in Hull. I thought I was the only one to have an attic full of boxes of old badges, flyers and other clubbing memorabilia but their newly opened ‘Memorabilia!’ exhibition clearly proves otherwise. If in Hull . . .

Memorabilia! Exhibition Part One The Museum of Club Culture 10 Humber St Hullwww.museumofclubculture.com open weekends aug 13th to sept 12th, 11am to 5pm

Otherwise keep you eyes on The Museum of Club Culture’s Facebook page as Mark and Kerry work day and night to digitalize material which comes their way. And if you’ve got old flyers and stuff why not get in touch with them to show them what you’ve got.

The worlds' only Museum of Club Culture at 10 Humber Street, Hull, HU1 1TG is celebrating its first anniversary

 

For the past year the Museum has hosted a cluster of exhibitions, screenings, workshops and talks by renowned authors, film makers, photographers and artists and we now present our anniversary exhibition Memorabilia!

 

An exhibition of nightclub flyers, pin and sewn badges, style publications, cut n paste zines,

music graphics, illustrations, reportage photography and video from the museum's archival collection.

 

Memorabilia! Exhibition is a look behind the world of clubs and sub cultures and highlights the importance of identity, memory, history and community.

This exhibition champions the cultural significance of nightclubs and street style and the role they have played in shaping modern culture.

The artefacts on exhibition collected during the past thirty years from scenes including Northern Soul, Hip Hop, Rare Groove, House and Rave, provide insights on the subterranean world of nightclubs and the attitudes, hairstyles, clothing and interests that have come to define nightclubbing and sub cultures.

The Memorabilia! Exhibition is a multi media experience reflecting the ever shifting landscape of nightlife and sub cultures at home and abroad.

 

Exhibition runs from 13th August - 12th September 2011

Open weekends 11am – 5pm or during the week by appointment. To make an appointment email museumclubculture@gmail.co​m
