Hacienda at the Urbis


Being a big fan of music and many of the bands that i like and were inspirated by the whole madchester culture. the Hacienda was one of the most famous clubs and venue for these acts. so when i heard that the Urbis were holding a exhibit on the cuture and story of the rise and fall of the Hacienda i deciced to go for a vist. What i really enjoyed about the exhibit. it showed all the events which were held in the venue withs videos , photos and posters and handouts from them. this was very helpful for the course as the hacienda's graphic designs were very iconic. The Hacienda exbition also told the tales of the creator Tony wilson along with the bands like New Order and the Happy monday that were also a big part of it. The exhibition also tell about the bad times that happened from the gang culture to the closure in 1997. This exhibition is for any music fan and the Madchester culture.
