Curated by Edward Enninful OBE, the show digs into the decade that rewired British art, fashion, photography, and pop culture.
If the 1990s in Britain still feels like a mood board that never stopped evolving, Tate Britain is about to make it museum official. The 90s lands at the Millbank Gallery from 1 October 2026 to 14 February 2027, with an exhibition shaped by celebrated editor and image maker Edward Enninful OBE.
The exhibition promises a look at a decade defined by subculture, rebellion, and experimentation, when style and identity were constantly being remixed, and creativity spilled from clubs, studios, catwalks, and magazines into the mainstream. Expect the show to move beyond nostalgia, focusing instead on the cultural friction that made the era feel so alive.
Edward Enninful is the ideal guide for the journey. Before redefining modern fashion media, he made history in the 90s as the youngest fashion director at i-D. Now, with The 90s, he brings spotlights the images, objects and ideas that helped shape Britain’s visual language.
So what will you actually see at The 90s Exhibition at Tate Britain? A cross-section of heavy hitters across disciplines. The photography line-up includes Juergen Teller and Nick Knight, alongside names such as David Sims and Corinne Day, whose work captured the decade’s raw energy and street-level glamour. On the fashion front, look out for era-defining moments from Vivienne Westwood, Alexander McQueen, and Hussein Chalayan, designers who pushed British style into bolder, stranger territory. Art is equally central, with works linked to influential figures including Damien Hirst, Gillian Wearing, and Yinka Shonibare, reflecting how the 90s recharged the conversation around contemporary British art.
Pricing and ticket details for The 90s at Tate Britain are still to be confirmed, but if you lived through the decade or just inherited it through images, playlists and references, this one belongs on your 2026 calendar. Time Out Worldwide
