This is a must for anyone who claims to be a Hip-Hop fan. This is the first Hip-Hop exhibition that documents the rise and impact of Hip-Hop in the UK.

Some of the exhibits are actually jaw dropping if you witnessed some of the events, or moments within the Hip-Hop timeline.

Ever been to a museum and felt like they don’t represent you or your heritage? This is the total opposite.

This represents my childhood……

….as does this.

and this.

At one point I had most of these…

……I’m even part of the exhibition!

Brilliant Exhibition, whether your a fan of HipHop, DJ, Artist, or contributed to the culture in anyway, you need to see this exhibition.

The exhibition runs until March 2010, check here.

It was a fantastic journey exhibition, I went back 4 times to take it in. It’s a crying shame this couldn’t have
been turned into a museum of urban culture, Preston needs a football museum far more than Manchester,
Manchester is choc full of football feeling as it is.
Anyway, it was a briliant exhibition and a hard one to stage as the music was the issue and head phones
had to be the way in such a small space, but it worked. The posters and ephemera that was amassed for it
were spot on and gave anyone viewing a slice of a milestone in British music. I don’t know if it was a
copyright or finance issue that no posters were for sale of the original artwork I think you would have shifted
100′s of them, many people Iknow have asked, and I would have loved some of them .
It was great , thank you x
