The 1920s: Beyond the Roar, from 22 January

This new exhibition, taking the 1921 Census as its keystone, allows visitors to explore 1920s life through a series of urban encounters by presenting the exhibition as a typical street from the time. Visitors will be guided from the dawn of the decade through the key themes of politics and protest, women’s rights, empire and design. You will encounter stories thematically tied to buildings and places, including a newspaper stand, polling station, draper’s shop and a 1920s home. Objects on display include early Chanel dress fabrics and geometric patterns alongside more traditional chintzes and paisleys, including some on display to the public for the first time.
