The Museum of Youth Culture is an
emerging museum celebrating a
century of teenage life in Britain.
Working to preserve this overlooked
and untold history, the Museum
champions the impact of youth culture
on modern society and works to
change pervasive narratives around
young people. The museum works
With young people to explore their
experiences as teenagers today
and envision what a future museum
should look like.
Acknowledging that we were all
Once, the Museum believes
Everyone has an important story to
tell about their youth and invite the
public to be part of the museum
through the Grown up in Britain
campaign.
From the bomb-site, Bicycle racers in
post-war 1940s London, to the Acid
House ravers of the 1980s Northern
England, the Museum of Youth
Culture empowers the extraordinary
everyday stories of growing up in
modern Britain.
In early 2024, a new group of
creative individuals passionate about
youth stories conducted research
under the guidance of the Museum
of Youth Culture. They chose a
research topic and collaborated on a
new project that is presented in this
zine.
The Museum’s Youth Collective
is comprised of individuals from
various creative backgrounds,
including filmmaking, photography,
writing, and graphic design. The
talents of the contributors are
showcased in the craft of this zine.
The museum is also committed to
reshaping narratives surrounding
young people, emphasizing their
positive contributions to culture and
society.
Collaborating closely with young
individuals, the museum delves
into their contemporary teenage
experiences and works alongside
them to envision a museum that
reflects their perspectives and
aspirations for the future.
