That 70s Show

The powerHouse Arena, New York

New York City in the 1970s

That 70s Show is an ode to a city long forgotten, a city on the brink of bankruptcy, rife with anarchy, brimming with uninhibited flavor and fearless adventure: New York City in the 70s. The exhibition pays tribute to the people of New York--from the pimps and the pushers to the police and the politicians, the musicians and the artists to everyday citizens--whose perseverance during these years reveals the true spirit of our city. That 70s Show takes us back to a time of crisis and creativity, anxiety and artistry, madness and majesty--when genius burned up the sky like the Bronx on fire.
