I've been aware of Robert Opie's incredible collection for some time, so it was a real treat to actually visit the museum first hand. One of my favourite parts were the displays of consumer goods spanning decades of production. It was compelling to see the changes in packaging design, container shapes and logos. The originals were still the best in most cases, for example, Cadbury and Ovaltine. If you love packaging, design, and pop culture, then you'll love this museum's tribute to the wonder of consumer culture.
