WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE?

The ultimate phenomenon of the 90's. The Spice Girls dominated the globe with their 'Girl Power' motto, taking over the charts with a selection of number one hits, sell out shows and some of the most distinct pop costumery that the industry had seen. Thanks to my closeness to Leeds, I decided to take a trip to the 'Leeds City Museum, where the ultimate 90's exhibition unfolded.

Liz West's obsession with the group resulted in a collection of over 3600 pieces, which were showcased at the exhibition. Free of charge.

From multiple copies of their music to the prolific union jack boots, the exhibition documented the bands formation in 1996 to their sorry demise, which resulted in numerous, semi-successful solo careers.

THE Union Jack Boots!
 

Really nostalgic experience. Great for the 90's children. FUN.
