What it is
Museum tags: Design and fashion; Advertising; Brands; Consumerism; History; Social history; Culture
A museum tracing 150 years of consumer culture. Its centrepiece is the Time Tunnel, with plenty of historic packages, consumer items and adverts, telling the story of how our lives – and what we’ve consumed – has changed over time, and placing this in its historic context. Full of nostalgia for people who grew up in Britain – for example old toys and games, sweet and crisp packets, cereal boxes. Also hosts temporary exhibitions exploring branding and advertising.
