TEMPORARY EXHIBITION
Did you cry at the cinema watching The Lion King? Does TM-Semic—the name of the publishing house—ring a bell? Could you tell the difference between the Super Nintendo console and our Polish-made Pegasus? And do you remember why video tapes had to be returned at a rental shop rewound?
If your answer to any of the above questions is YES, then the exhibition Nineties Forever! Popculture in the 1990s Poland is just the thing for you! But wait! If you don’t know the answer, then Nineties Forever! is even more for you!On March 22nd, 2025, ZAMEK Culture Centre in Poznań will become a time machine, like the iconic DeLorean from Back to the Future. Come on in to travel to a not-so-distant, but a very different era. At the exhibition, you’ll have a chance to relive the 90s thanks to the most important pop-cultural artefacts of that decade—games, tapes, comics or toys—as well as places dedicated to pop culture, such as the now extinct video rental stores or newsagent kiosks. For a genuine experience of the 90s, you’re welcome not only to admire the young relics in the display cases, but also to get your hands on game pads, Lego bricks, archival issues of Bravo and classic walkmans... do you still remember how to use them?!
With the unique Nineties Forever!, we wish to prove that popular objects are also worthy of memory and critical reflection. Their actual value does not lie in quality, but in the role they play in the personal biographies of their users. Are you up to facing the power of pop culture nostalgia? Drop in and find out!
