THROWAWAY HISTORY

Weds 25th Sept
6.30pm-8.30pm

Join our founder Robert Opie for a talk at the Museum as we celebrate the 50th anniversary of the collection.

For the Beatles, train robbers and Dr Who, 1963 was a memorable year. After buying a packet of Munchies in September 1963, 16 year old schoolboy Robert Opie also had a moment of inspiration when he realised the things we throw away reflect the world in which we live. Join us for his extraordinary story of how the consumer revolution has utterly changed our lives.

Your £12 ticket includes entry to the Museum and there will be a cash bar.
