Museum of Brands

Price £10

The Museum of Brands, formerly the Museum of Brands, Packaging and Advertising, in Notting Hill has a collection of over 12,000 artefacts that include everyday products that show the evolution of consumer culture from Victorian times to the present day.

What to see at the Museum of Brands

The Museum of Brands’ collection is set out in chronological order to showcase how brands, packaging and advertising have evolved since Victorian times. This shows not only how tastes, technology and consumer protection have changed but also how people today have become more sophisticated consumers.

It is a museum that will bring back a lot of memories for older visitors, particularly those who have grown up with British brands.
