Join us for a tour around our new exhibition led by curator Mat Bancroft. The Secret Public: LGBTQ Pop 1955-1985 explores the profound influence of LGBTQ performers, artists and activists on mainstream popular culture. Based on the book by the University of Manchester's Professor of Popular Culture, Jon Savage, the exhibition draws on his personal archives and The University of Manchester's British Pop Archive.

The tour is free and drop in.
