The 90s expo takes you on a nostalgic trip to the 1990s. Our daily lives changed rapidly in this decade.
A whole new world unfolded with the Internet, the first mobile phones and commercial television. Everything seemed possible, but was it? Trends, fashion and music of the past are popular again. We are singing our hearts out to nineties hits. The sitcom Friends is more popular than ever. We are longing for wild parties in the biggest clubs. But why do we feel so nostalgic for that time?

"It’s not often that a museum makes you laugh out loud with recognition, but visitors to Ghent’s House of Alijn 90s Expo who lived through the decade will find themselves doing just that. At this thoroughly enjoyable exhibition, I saw people not only laughing as they pointed at old PCs and tried to type messages on an old Nokia, but also exclaiming at TV footage and even dancing to old bangers by beloved boybands, grunge and techno acts."
Deborah O'Donoghue for Travel Tomorrow
