The 1950’s Museum – In Song!
Our museum has inspired something rather special!
Martin Keating has created a whole album of original songs about the 1950’s Museum, written and performed in a fantastic 1950s style.
From the characters and stories to the wonderful things you’ll find around the museum, the album brings the spirit of the 1950s to life through music.
And there’s an extra reason to listen — 50% of the proceeds from the album will be donated to the 1950’s Museum, helping us to continue looking after our collection, sharing its stories with visitors.
Put the kettle on, turn up the volume and take a musical trip back to the 1950s! Listen to Martin’s album on YouTube
