Use Hearing Protection: The early years of Factory Records
There’s been a lot of interest about Use Hearing Protection: The early years of Factory Records at The Science and Industry Museum in Manchester. I was excited to head across The Pennines one November morning to see the exhibition.
It was as visually vibrant as I hoped with many examples of the graphic design that Factory Records is famous for. There was LP artwork, various ephemera, interesting artefacts and hands on interactives including the chance to have a play on an analogue synth.
The story of Factory Records is part of the city of Manchester’s past, the exhibition does a great job of combining the social history of the both into a coherent narrative.
The exhibition continues at The Science and Industry Museum until 2 January 2022.
