What is the Cute Exhibition?<\/h2>\n<\/div>

\"cute<\/picture>
The Cute Exhibition is a celebration of everything cute and kawaii that’s taken the world and popular culture by storm. It delves into the aesthetics of cuteness and its influence on the world. This immersive exhibition features emojis, internet memes, video games, plushies, and more cuteness than you can handle! Think the little girl from Despicable Me “It’s so fluffy, I’m gonna die!”\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

You will be taken on a journey through the cute cultural phenomena, starting in the 1870s with the first ever cat meme (yep! Cat’s have been stealing hearts and memes since the 19th century).<\/em> One of the rooms is a tribute to cats and features feline photographs and a collection of china cats!<\/p>\n

Get ready for a blast from the past with a range of artefacts and memorabilia from Sylvanian Families and My Little Pony. Oh and keep your eye out for the dedicated plushie space – talk about cute!<\/p>\n

Reminisce with iconic games like Animal Crossing and Tamagotchis in the Japanese Video games room. Let’s be real, who didn’t obsess over their Tamagotchi back in the day? <\/em>Anime and Manga lovers, we’ve got you covered! There’s a wall filled with original manga panels from the 80s and 90s!<\/p>\n

Fancy a pyjama party? There’s even a fully-kitted out, vast teen bedroom complete with beanbags and pop music, created by British artist Hannah Diamond! It pays homage to the universal experience of pink girlhood.<\/p>\n

The exhibition features artwork from Karen Kilimnik, Cosima Von Bonin, Juliana Huxtable, Rachel Maclean, Mike Kelley, Andy Holden, Wong Ping, Aya Takano, Nayland Blake, Ado Mizumori and so many more amazing artists, including some of Somerset House Studios own artists!<\/div><\/div>Find out more<\/span><\/a><\/div>
