An unmissable exhibition celebrating British coastal culture and how Art Deco became the seaside style.
About
From resorts and hotels to cinemas and amusement parks, iconic examples of architecture will reveal how Art Deco altered the look of the British seafront.
This exhibition of over 150 works will also shine a light on interiors and fashion, with striking designs from renowned manufacturers such as Poole Pottery, ECKO radios and Crysède textiles. A significant group of Art Deco paintings, underpinned by a fashion for realism, will be brought together for the first time.
The more ephemeral, popular culture of the seaside will also be considered, as part of the glamour and accessibility of this much loved style.
