Spice Girls Exhibition Leeds museum from 28january- 3nd July

I WAS AMAZED! This exhibition was exciting.
It was really clear to see what was there. It was laid out well in a good order. The lights were good. They had display cases with clothes in. They were presented well they had utilised the space well.

Unfortunately there wasn't a lot of room it was a bit squashed when trying to get round the different cabinets that were displayed especially if there were many people at the exhibition at the same time.

The visual aspect was very good I was really impressed with the whole set up.

Speech bubbles were used to explain the different pieces of the exhibition as you walked around it.

The lighting  was not over powering but made the ambiance of the room exciting but gave a more natural feel which meant you could see everything clearly.


From  entering the exhibittion it lead you through the spice girls career from start to finish. Magazine and new paper articles lined  the wall. It displayed exiting and interesting stories about them individually.

It was very well organised

The first thing that hit you when you entered the exhibition was their awards and gold discs they had achieved. As you turned the corner, glass cabinets displayed some of their more famous out fits, shoes and memorabilia.


Half way round the exhibition you had chance to take a break, sit, relax and watch one of their movies. There was also a seating area at the end of the tour where you could sit and read some books about their lives.


One part exhibited different pieces of memorabilia which had been collected by an avid fan. They included old DVDs and articles about them including all their concert tickets they had been to.

As you came towards the end of the exhibition there was a fake dressing room with which rails and rails of outfits they had worn during their tours hung.



I liked the style of the clothes: Scary spice style – flares, boots, big hair – cool. I liked the Union jack dress but that was in a picture.

There was a stage with mannequins on it of the 5 girls. One of them was wearing a green dress with green sparkles and tassels which I liked.  I didn’t like the orange see through dress with swirls on it.

It showed the designers who designed their clothes for the stage and award shows. These were specially designed for them as one-offs .

It was relaxing to walk around and there wasn’t too much information. It was designed so you walked around in one way. This way you didn't miss anything. It guided you easily around the exhibition.

I thought it was good exhibition because it was in a good order, and the information was interesting. Most of it was short and easy to take in but some of the information was a bit irrelevant and long.
As interesting as it was, I personally felt there could  have been more outfits on display.
But well worth a visit especially for those Spice Girl fans!!!!!!!! It's a chance to remember those good old days. Only joking! I know your not that old!
