The Growing Up X exhibition explores the toys, technologies and cultural touchstones surrounding Gen Xers in their childhood.

Additionally, they will learn how growing up in the shadow of the Vietnam War, the Cold War, the AIDS crisis and the War on Drugs shaped Gen Xers as individuals and a generation.
