Calling all Packaging, Branding, Identity, advertising lovers....please make your way to 'The Museum of Brands & Packaging & Advertising' London.
A stones throw away from Portobello Road, neatly tucked behind Westbourne Grove is where this undiscovered treasure is waiting, and all for the modest fee of £5.90 per person!
The Museum of Brands, Packaging and Advertising offers a colourful display of advertising items from Victorian times to the present day. Racing from a really old pack of Munchies, the first box of black Magic, the difference between the size of Surf's washing powder back in the day to the size of there bumper bargain size now, Oxo, Birds, HP, Kelloggs, Brasso and everyone's favorite character...Homepride Fred. But for me, the best part was the displays of brand evolution, lined up in a row every jar of Marmite in chronological order!
This collection is useful not just for people interested in the development of brands, branding, and advertising, in general, but also, for designers looking for ideas in packaging and design, overall.
