Reignite the soundtrack of your youth and relive the moments that shaped a generation. This unforgettable exhibition takes you on a journey through the ’60s, ’70s and ’80s — decades when music wasn’t just entertainment, but a voice for change, identity and connection. Feel the rush of nostalgia as you explore iconic objects, handwritten lyrics, and the sounds of artists like Céline Dion, k.d. lang, Kashtin and Rush.
Discover music that turned the tables and left its mark on an entire generation. These were songs that went beyond melodies and rhythms — they became anthems of resistance, love, and transformation. They provided the soundtrack to social movements, personal revolutions, and unforgettable cultural moments, creating bonds that continue to resonate across time.
An exhibition developed by the Canadian Museum of History, Gatineau. Presented with an eye toward memory and meaning, it invites visitors not only to look back, but to reflect on how music continues to shape who we are today. Step inside and reconnect with the emotions, the spirit, and the stories that defined the soundtrack of an era — and perhaps, your own.
