What are your memories of the ICA? As part of our sixtieth birthday celebrations, we're collecting people's memories of the great times they've had and the significant things they've seen at the ICA.

The ICA is sixty this year, and as part of our celebrations, we're publishing a book recounting the ICA's history, and we're collecting memories of the ICA. We want to hear about the good times you've had and the significant things you've seen at the ICA.

Were you here for 40,000 Years of Modern Art, or Cybernetic Serendipity? Did you see the Clash play their second-ever gig here? Maybe you bumped into Jean Michel Basquiat in the cafeteria, or saw Madonna when she used to pop into the bookshop.

If you have a memory of the ICA you'd like to share, post your comment below. If you have a longer story, would like to remain anonymous, or have some pictures of an event at the ICA, email us at irememberwhen@ica.org.uk.
