Museum of Youth Culture

I thought I’d like to post a thumbs up for the soon to be opening Museum of Youth Culture in London.

To cut a long story short I stumbled upon their website via Instagram. They wanted pictures of people who back in the day used those photo kiosks for fun. I’m sure everyone on this forum remembers using them at some point! :wink:
So I submitted one of mine from back in the dark ages :open_mouth:

I’m seriously looking forward to the launch, they have a really positive approach and it appears are keen to be a kind of ‘living’ museum and ongoing project in the community, engaging with young people of today.

So, after exchanging a few messages I signed on the dotted line and joined! :+1:
Growing up in Central London and being rather familiar with Camden this resonates big time!

Oh, you don’t have to be a youth to join… just as well! :open_mouth::+1:

As long as I don’t travel via Hammersmith they can’t touch me! :wink:

Yep, museums are terrific aren’t they Eliza, it’s seems that there are always more to discover if you look!
Nah… wasn’t really a bovver boy, just a bit of a posing West End punk rocker😉

Can’t say I ever used a photobooth back in the day, they were always too expensive, especially for just messing about with.

I only ever used them for passport photos and stuff like that.
Never been that fond of looking at images of myself. :japanese_ogre:

Oh gosh…somewhere, hidden in the depths of boxes, I have photos taken in those booths…I like the idea…looks like fun!

Yes, I remember when the photos eventually dropped into the little dispenser outside of the photobooth. They’d be soaking wet with some kind of chemical. You’d have to wave them around in the air to dry them otherwise they’d smudge, all good fun! :slightly_smiling_face:
