Midcentury Medieval
Info

The very kitschy revival of Medieval and Renaissance motifs & cultural touchstones in the context of the 1950s-on economic boom. Expressed in the emergence of 'Renaissance Faires', Tudor-style and Fairytale suburban architecture, Sword-and-Sorcery movies, Steak & Ale restaurant chain, themed hotels. Additionally some examples are from the Hippie variant of this revival, in the 1960s-70s.
