This autumn, Discover Bucks Museum invites visitors on a vibrant journey back to the decade of Britpop, Cool Britannia, Pokémon, Power Rangers and dial-up internet with its new exhibition, I Grew Up 90s.
Running from 25 October 2025 to 22 February 2026, the exhibition brings together more than 200 iconic objects and artworks that bring the Nineties back to vivid life.
From Teletubbies to Trainspotting, Lara Croft to The Spice Girls, I Grew Up 90s celebrates a decade defined by creativity, optimism and unforgettable pop culture moments. Visitors can revisit toys, games, fashion, films, music and television shows that shaped a generation — and even test their skills on a retro arcade machine featuring classics like Tetris, Tekken, Street Fighter, and Sonic the Hedgehog.
The exhibition is curated by cultural historian and curator Matt Fox, capturing the sights, sounds and spirit of the 1990s.
“Those that grew up 30 years ago in the 1990s – before smart phones, social media or reality TV – can genuinely state that life was very different then.” Fox says. “I Grew Up 90s is a time capsule of that era, seen through the eyes of those who lived it as children and teenagers.”
Sam Mason, CEO of Discover Bucks Museum said, “It is delightful to be able to take a trip down memory lane, with artefacts that so many will remember. It is also a little scary to realise that many familiar items that we grew up with now belong on show in a museum! We hope those who remember the 90s will enjoy revelling in nostalgia and that those who don’t will come and experience a snapshot of life in the last millennium.”
The exhibition is a chance to relive playground crazes, rediscover music and TV milestones, and remember the moments that made the 90s unforgettable. Come and visit with the whole family and get ready to exclaim, “I remember that!”
I Grew Up 90s opens on Saturday 25 October 2025 and runs until Sunday 22 February 2026.
