Museum of Brands, Packaging and Advertising

I think this is my favourite museum so far. I literally walked out of the building with a smile on my face, enormously inspired and happy to be a design/illustration student in London.

Before visiting I didn't really had high expectations because I don't like the logo of the museum at all (makes you think it's more focused on modern packaging which isn't the case) and it seemed a bit like a sloppy place according to the pictures I saw. Once inside I actually liked the sloppiness (as in, many many items put together in glass boxes) it had this nostalgic atmosphere. I'm definately going back soon, I already miss the instant happy feeling I got from the beautiful designed candy bars and cornflakes boxes. The only downside maybe must be the fact that they didn't offer much information (apart from the brief general description per decade)

What made my visit even better is that there were these jolly old people visiting as well, recalling memories based on the displayed products.

Here are some sketches I made, and some blurry photos (it was well dark and we actually weren't allowed to take pictures)
