"If you haven't been, The Museum of Brands is well worth a visit in general. This unique institution provides an evocative insight into how everyday lives have changed over the past 200 years through the development of consumer brands." Tom May, in Creative Boom "...every time I turned away and looked again I saw something I hadn't noticed the first time. I took my son to Young V&A and for sheer nostalgia and amount of stuff to see, the Museum of Brands wins hands down." Google Review, July 2024 Enjoyed your visit?
