Museum of Brands

The Museum of Brands takes visitors on a nostalgic journey through 200 years of social change, culture and lifestyle. It is an exciting new way of looking at history through the things that generations of families have thrown away. It’s a journey back through the memories of your childhood, all brought back to life again by our Time Tunnel – a fascinating insight into how we have lived since Victorian times.

Here are all those familiar brand names – Cadbury’s, Colman’s, Fry’s, Kellogg’s, Bird’s custard – an endless stream of pre-packed products, posters, popular cigarettes, patent medicines, toiletries and cosmetics, household soaps and polishes. Visitors follow this dramatic story step by step through each decade up to the present day.
