I have been here before, several years ago, when this place was named the Museum of Brands, Packaging and Advertising. Evidently, they've had a (ahem!) rebrand.
You start by taking a walk through their Time Tunnel, which shows how consumer culture has evolved from the Victorian time until the present day The products range from "everyday" domestic goods, posters, packaging, toys and games. The Time Tunnel was created by consumer historian Robert Opie, whose vision was to save packaging that would otherwise disappear forever.
There is an exhibition called AdWomen currently showing, and it celebrates 100 years of women in advertising. Some of the cabinets look at women's changing roles over the years, and show skilful advertising aimed at women. Beauty, for instance, is very big business! Who could forget the "Hello Boys" Wonderbra ad, which features here?
Come and take a walk in my shoes and I'll show you a museum which offers a real nostalgia trip back into our childhoods, and there is something very Andy Warhol-esque about the way some of these items are displayed!
As you know, I will always be a writer before anything else, and my Museum of Brands blog can be found here:-
