Stoormtroopers in Stilettos

We were very excited to hear about a rare Queen exhibition very near to our office last week! ‘Stormtroopers in Stilettos’ is the first ever major Queen exhibition and took place in a huge warehouse space in the heart of London’s East End at Old Truman Brewery, just off Brick Lane.

The exhibition took a comprehensive look at the early part of Queen’s career, from before the band’s formation in 1971 when various band members were dreaming of success while studying astrophysics or running stalls next to Biba in Kensington Market, right up to their spectacular free gig for over 250,000 fans in Hyde Park in 1976. The themed rooms documenting Queen's journey to fame - are dedicated to the band's first albums and feature artwork, costumes made by British designer Zandra Rhodes and the band's instruments, plus a recreation of the studio in which Bohemian Rhapsody was recorded.
