Popping To The Shops: Evington

Popping to the Shops Evington is the third exhibition in the Popping to the Shops series, following earlier projects on Narborough Road and Saffron Lane.This community co-curated exhibition explores the history, identity and everyday life of Evington through its local shops and businesses.

Developed in collaboration with traders, community members and Leicester Museums' co-producers, the exhibition brings together objects from the museum collection alongside contemporary items donated by Evington businesses.Through photographs, stories and material culture, the exhibition celebrates shops as social hubs and reflects on how the area has evolved over time.
