Silver 70s

Leeds City Museum, 27th January to 22nd April 2012

We’re very pleased to be working again with Leeds City Museum, on their latest exhibition: Silver 70s.

Silver 70s recreates a home of the 1970s and looks at the decade through its popular culture. From the music of the Bay City Rollers, to the Iron Lady’s assent to power, the 1970s was a decade of local and national highs and lows. The Queen celebrated her Silver Jubilee and the nation covered their walls in paisley wallpaper.

YFA films showcasing Leeds in the ‘70s can be seen during the exhibition, which runs from 27th January to 22nd April 2012. You can read about some of the films by clicking on the links below … but you’ll have to visit the Museum if you want to see them!
