The lifestyle of the 1980s included a consumerism fueled by flashy advertising and a colourful variety of goods from fashion, leisure, design and entertainment technology: shoulder pads and "mullet" hairstyles, aerobics, Memphis style and Neue Deutsche Welle were the hot trends, while Commodore 64, Atari, Pacman and Super Mario revolutionized the world of electronics and media.
Global retail groups were constantly expanding their product ranges with new brands. The consumer goods boom also reached the municipal level, such as Kiel's city center, where new chain stores and the post-modern Sophienhof shopping temple lured shoppers.
The exhibition traces this development with over 300 exhibits and historical photos.
