Take a trip back to 1989 in Birmingham
Cast your mind back to 1989. What were you up to on an average Friday night? Watching the soaps maybe? Or talking to your friends on the landline -- remember those? Or did you ever find yourself in a field raving the night away?
For anyone nostalgic for the West Midland's acid house rave scene, Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery has opened a new exhibition called In Pursuit of Repetitive Beats.
It's a exhibition with a bit of a difference -- it all takes place in a virtual reality.
Eve Webster has strapped on some VR goggles to travel back 1989 to learn about how the West Midland's became a hub for rave culture.
