https://museumofbrands.com Unwrap 200 years of consumer society at the Museum of Brands. Travel through the Museum’s time tunnel of 12,000 objects and unwrap 150 years of consumer society, decade by decade. From Cadbury’s to Coca-Cola, Monster Munch to Matey Bubble Bath, so many brand stories are here. Rediscover design classics, forgotten childhood toys and products long since consigned to history. The fascinating changes in style, design, fashion, entertainment, communications, travel, transport and behaviour can all be traced through our unique collection. Located just off the famous Portobello Road in London’s Notting Hill, the Museum is regularly described as one of London’s quirkiest Museums. Our award-winning gift shop sells brand-inspired items created from images in the Collection and the café offers light lunches, tea, coffee and refreshments.

The Culture Recovery Fund has really helped to support our activities (both when open and closed!) and allowed us to reach so many new people this year. We can’t wait to show you what we have planned for our reopening! #CultureRecoveryFund #HereForCulture
We are now accepting bookings for our KS3 & KS4 Gender in Advertising Zoom digital workshop! ♀️♂️
"The workshop was well received by the students...with lots of resources and interaction with the host and the students. The topic was interesting and would be appropriate enrichment for all learners, not just those studying marketing related subjects. I would absolutely recommend the digital workshop to anyone and the students now want to visit the museum!" - S. Barratt Hertford Regional College

How do galleries brand art exhibitions? Our friends over at @RichardSaltounGallery have recently been through this process with their year-long series of exhibitions inspired by the writings of the political philosopher Hannah Arendt.
The visual identity for 'On Hannah Arendt' was designed by London-based graphic designer @zoeanspach, building on the colours and visuals of Arendt's 1968 publication 'Between Past and Future.' Each of the eight exhibitions in the programme will be based on one of the eight essays in the book.
The gallery's latest exhibition 'The Concept of History' with leading political artist @peterkennardx opens this week in London! Follow @richardsaltoungallery for more information on the programme, as well as a virtual reading group with artists, scholars and other creatives on each essay in 'Between Past and Future' developed in collaboration with the @hannaharendtcenteratbard.
Huge thanks to Culture Recovery Fund who have supported our activities (whether open or closed!) and helped us reach more people and develop new ideas ahead of reopening again this summer! #CultureRecoveryFund #HereForCulture

Or if you are drizzling Golden Syrup onto your pancakes, don't forget to take a closer look at the can! Each can features a less than appetising image of a dead lion surrounded by bees. Abram Lyle had strong religious beliefs and used the image as a reference to Samson's riddle from the Bible's Old Testament. The image still features on cans today.
It's pancake day! There are lots of branded toppings we associate with pancakes, for example thanks to this late 80s campaign many use Jif Lemon Juice - Don't forget the pancakes on Jif Lemon Day! Which toppings are you using today?
At the museum, we have an amazing collection of WWII items and memorabilia ranging from propaganda posters to themed board games.
Inject a bit of history into today's half term activity and print out our Supermarine Spitfire fighter plane colouring page.

Did you know that today marks 50 years since the introduction of decimalised currency in the UK? As shown in our collection, Brands like Cadbury UK produced chocolate coins to mimic the new pence, and you could even get "super educational games" to help children get used to the format of their new pocket money.
Our first Half Term activity is a vintage inspired design your own chocolate bar page. If your children are needing some inspiration, feast your eyes on these mouth watering sweets and chocolates from the 1950s.
Can you spot your favourite treat in this photo? Some well-known brands which are still around today have a really long history. Cadbury's was founded nearly 200 years ago in 1824!
