The V&A is set to launch a 'Lost Music Venues' exhibition in 2026, exploring London's rich music culture and the impact of venue closures. Following the pandemic, over 3,000 pubs, bars, and nightclubs have shut down in the city, making this exhibition timely and crucial. The museum is inviting Londoners to contribute artefacts, memorabilia, and music ephemera that reflect the history of these venues, with submissions accepted until May 31. Items such as flyers, posters, and photographs dating back to 1988 are encouraged to preserve the legacy of these important cultural spaces.
The V&A's upcoming 'Lost Music Venues' exhibition highlights the cultural significance of grassroots music spaces in London, inviting public contributions to commemorate these cherished sites.
London has seen over 3,000 bars, pubs, and nightclubs close since the pandemic, prompting the V&A's call for artefacts to celebrate the city's musical heritage.
