Spiceworld: The Exhibition

LINK to Official Leeds City Museum Website

Love them or hate them, this interactive exhibition celebrates Brit Pop's most successful girl group. Through the extensive collection of local fan Liz West, explore the music industry at the height of Brit Pop - manufactured bands, the media, the glamour, the pressure of celebrity status and of course the music and merchandise that so often made the Spice Girls front page news.

Take a journey from the stage door to the bright lights of a performance and see if you’ve got what it takes to be a star!

The memorabilia on show will include a number of eye-catching items, such as the iconic Union Jack boots worn by Geri Halliwell in ‘Spiceworld: The Movie’, Emma Bunton’s blue sequin dress from the band’s memorable performance at the 1997 Brit Awards (where Geri made her first appearance in the Union Jack dress) and Mel B’s trademark giraffe print catsuit complete with ‘Mel B’ crystal-studded belt.

Other items among those which have never been seen together on public display before will include outfits worn by Emma, Geri and Mel B on their ‘Spiceworld’ tour, a gold and diamond-studded Chopard watch worn by Victoria, the directors’ script from ‘Spiceworld: The Movie’ and the multi-platinum CD the band were awarded for selling over four million copies of the album ‘Spice’ in America in 1997.

You know its what you want, what you really, really want!
