Step back in time with “Be Kind… Rewind: A Nostalgia Show,” an immersive art exhibition that transports you to the golden days of childhood. This unique exhibit invites you to relive the magic of the past through a curated collection of nostalgic memories, spanning from beloved movies and treasured toys to the simple joys of everyday moments.

Exhibition Themes

The Movie Magic

As you walk into the exhibit, be greeted by a replica of a Blockbuster movie store, complete with shelves lined with VHS tapes and iconic movie posters. Relive the thrill of Friday nights spent picking out the latest releases and classic favorites. The flickering neon lights and familiar scent of buttery popcorn transport you back to a time when the weekend meant movie marathons and sleepovers.

Toyland Treasures

Journey through a wonderland of toys that once filled your childhood with joy. From action figures and dolls to board games and video game consoles, each display is a tribute to the playful spirit of youth. Feel the excitement of unwrapping a new toy on your birthday or discovering a long-lost favorite in the attic.

Pixel Perfect Memories

Relive the digital delights of early video games with interactive installations featuring classic arcade games and consoles. Challenge your friends to a game of Pac-Man, Mario Kart, or Street Fighter, and remember the hours spent in friendly competition and pure fun.

Sweet Indulgences

No trip down memory lane would be complete without the treats that sweetened our childhood. A nostalgic candy counter brims with retro sweets, from Pixy Stix and Pop Rocks to candy necklaces and jawbreakers. The sight and smell of these sugary delights evoke memories of simpler times and carefree days.

Timeless Tunes

Immerse yourself in the sounds of the past with a jukebox playing hits from your favorite childhood years. Create your own mixtape of memories with songs that defined your youth, from pop anthems to Saturday morning cartoon theme songs.

Personal Reflections

What does nostalgia look like for you? For many, it’s the excitement of browsing through rows of VHS tapes at the local Blockbuster, the thrill of unwrapping a new action figure, or the satisfaction of beating a high score on a favorite arcade game. This exhibition invites you to reflect on your own nostalgic memories and share them with others, creating a collective tapestry of experiences that celebrates the magic of being a kid.
