The Museum of Brands, Packaging & Advertising in London is always on the button when it comes to marketing its vast collection of antique and vintage consumer products.
Examples of this ephemera scene can be picked up at fleamarkets and car boots. The museum was founded in Gloucester in 1984 by the consumer historian Robert Opie – or ‘supermarket archaeologist’ as he is sometimes dubbed. Until September 3, it is running a time tunnel trail highlighting seaside objects and advertisements through Victorian railway adventures to the opening of Butlin’s holiday camps in the 1930s.
