THE 80'S ARE BACK

Sydney's Power House museum is currently holding an exhibition called THE 80's ARE BACK. It ends on the 30th April.

THE 80S ARE BACK!

Sparked by a co

mbination of nostalgia, curiosity and the thrill of the taboo, the 80s revival just keeps getting bigger as a new generation looks to the decade for inspiration.

But what were the 80s really like? Were they one just one big party and an awful lot of big hair?

Or was there a lot more going on? And what did the decade mean for Australia as the ‘land down under’ took its place on the international stage? This exhibition takes you back to the music, the fashion, the parties, the politics and the people to find out… (Take from)

While I was there I saw a lot of toys that I had when I was very young. Some where from Macca's other where themed toys particularly the My Little Pony. There was a lot of musical instruments. I really liked the key-board guitar called a Keytar funnily enough. Also featured were Rob Hirst's the drummer Midnight Oils Doc Martins. But the item I enjoyed the most from the music area was Michael Jacksons Jacket and his famous single sparkly glove. Even more so was the quote as to why we chose to.

The next part of the exhibition was games from the 80's featuring 8 or so arcade style games.

Also a giant light up rubix cube which you could actually play with was featured in the exhibition.. It was a startling flashy in such a dark room very much from the 80's.
