Free Admission

 

Launch event: Thursday 2 May, 5.30pm-8pm

 

175 years ago, John Boot opened a herbalist store on Nottingham’s Goose Gate. To mark this anniversary, Boots has partnered with the University of Nottingham to explore how shopping has evolved since 1849.

 

Part design show, part social history, Counter Culture explores changing experiences on the high street. From Victorian pharmacies to the superstores of the 1980s and beyond, Boots stores have reflected our shifting social needs, cultural aspirations, and patterns of everyday life.

 

Using historic objects, images and architecture, Counter Culture looks at the creation of modern shopping, from both sides of the counter.
