MUSEUM OF AUSTERITY | REVIEW

Museum of Austerity 
Venue: The Maria Theatre, London

Witness the human stories of Austerity Britain in this deeply moving, mixed reality exhibition. In 2016, the UN found that “grave or systemic violations” of the rights of disabled people were taking place throughout the UK. Wearing a mixed reality headset, you will experience The Maria Theatre transformed into a striking holographic gallery that explores the stories of the many people failed by the UK’s welfare state.

Combining testimony, original music and holographic imagery, Museum of Austerity is more than an exhibition; it’s a blend of theatre, history and humanity. A place to reflect on the past and confront the future.
