Design Museum’s upcoming exhibition explores how London’s Blitz nightclub shaped ‘80s club culture, and launched the careers of Boy George, milliner Stephen Jones and others. The Design Museum is celebrating all things Blitz and glamour with its upcoming exhibition, “Blitz: The Club That Shaped the 80s.” Celebrating how London’s Blitz nightclub influenced ‘80s club culture show will run from Sept. 20 to March 29. “It’s remarkable that so much of 1980s pop culture can be traced back to the Blitz scene. That the club night only ran for little over a year, but shaped a whole decade is really astonishing,” said Danielle Thom, the exhibition’s curator. The exhibition is supported by the Blavatnik Family Foundation.
