| Swinging London 50's – 60's |
London in the 1950s and 60s saw the Beatles make their debut, and youths in “mod” fashion and miniskirts hit the town on their Vespas. The frenzy and excitement epitomized by the term
“Swingin' London” provided fertile ground for unconventional forms of culture to flourish. This exhibition introduces visitors to the lifestyles of the time through fashion, design and music. |
