Join us for a three-day audio-visual experience at Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery. 

Deleted Scenes celebrates the iconic technologies that have disappeared from our lives but left a lasting mark on how we think, work, create, and play. From global business leaders and pop-culture pioneers to everyday families, these innovations shaped generations and helped define the future in countless ways.

In 2026, we shine a spotlight on one of the most influential devices of all time: the Nintendo Game Boy. More than a handheld console, the Game Boy became a cultural phenomenon, transforming entertainment in the 1990s and demonstrating the power of portable technology to connect, inspire, and influence the world around us.
