Museum of Brands - Retro Sci-fi & Museums at Night

Beam Me Back, Scotty  1950s, '60s and '70s Sci-fi Teleport yourself to the Museum of Brands and back to the great era of space fiction. Dan Dare was the pilot of the future, Stingray and Thunderbirds ruled the universe, Dr Who outwitted the Daleks, Star Trek reached new frontiers, and Star Wars – launched 40 years ago – created a new force that’s still with us. The magic and mystery of the moment was created by the vibrant artwork – children’s comics and annuals, toys and games, film posters and even the packaging of the period. A selection of 1950s, '60s and '70s Sci-fi items will be on show at the Museum from the 18 May to 20 August 2017. Read more Museum by Night - Talk As part of Museums at Night, the Museum will open its doors after-hours from 6.30 to 8.30pm on the 17 May as we welcome guests to a talk on Neuroscience - Why People Buy.
