Punk Rock exhibition at Leicester Museum and Art Gallery

By Charlie Ramshall

One of the most rebellious music genres the UK has ever seen is being celebrated here in Leicester.

The Punk: Rage and Revolution exhibition is being staged at Leicester Museum and Art Gallery, New Walk from this Saturday, May 27, until Sunday, September 3.

The exhibition has been put together by the people at Soft Touch Arts and will focus on all the different aspects of 70s British Punk.

The exhibition will use information panels, original objects and ephemera to display the impact punk had on its audience.

“The chaos and creation of the 1970s British Punk scene.”

Entry for the exhibition is free all summer so you can visit as many times as you like.

This ties in nicely with the Punk Festival Weekend which is planned for Friday, August 18 until Sunday, August 20.
