Museum of Brands, Packaging and Advertising reviews
Fabulous - really interesting and useful as well. I truly recommend it! Just one gripe: had problems in finding it because I'm not from the UK and there were no signs when I got out of Notting Hill tube.
by Zsenia, 02 Mar 2008Absolutely great stuff. Great concept, brilliantly executed. A superb time capsule. Curious to know why the Edwardian period was the starting point. Wish there was a road sign near Notting Hill tube station - finding it was a heck of a job (ironic, considering it has so much to do with advertising).
by shibnath sen, 05 Dec 2007A couple of friends seemed reluctant when I suggested it, but soon became engrossed. We plan to visit again.
by cranmer, 24 Mar 2007A brilliant trip through the past 100 years or so. It certainly evoked a lot of memories, and I'm only 32! It's a little bit out of the way but deserves to be a success. I'd recommend it to anyone.
by Andrewt, 19 Feb 2007A phenomenal experience, and this is only a fraction of Mr Opie's collection. You will never see in the period of one or one and a half hours such a clear and graphic explanation of the social and consumer history of the UK.
For all ages... especially those with a touch of nostalgia for the 1910s, 20s, 30s, 40s, 50s, 60s through to the 70s and later; but the fun lies in hearing everyone saying, "Oh, my grandparents/parents had one of those", "Do I still have such and such at home?", "Remember when...".
The quality of the exhibits is second to none. Really a must to visit.
Have we missed a great museum in London? Let us know.
