25 years ago, ‘Sensation’ was open in our Main Galleries – and, to put it mildly, it was causing quite the stir. From the work of a young artist by the name of Damien Hirst, who had suspended a shark in a tank filled with formaldehyde, to a tent by Tracey Emin recalling ‘Everyone I Have Ever Slept With 1963–1995’, the exhibition of Charles Saatchi’s art collection sent shockwaves through the art world and beyond. If you were one of the 350,000 people who visited the exhibition, share your memories in the comments! You can catch the 25 year anniversary documentary on @bbc iPlayer now.
