Just around the corner from the world-famous Portobello Road Market stands a treasure trove of retro design and memories. The objectives of the charity are to educate the public on design and in particular to the subjects of advertising and packaging and their history by establishing and maintaining a museum to be open to the public for displaying exhibitions. The purposes of the charity are: The purpose of the museum and collection has always been to capture enough throwaway consumer material to give an insight into how society has arrived at where it is today and then, possibly, to shed light on where it will be tomorrow. Through permanent and temporary exhibitions the many aspects of the Collection can be seen by visitors, including schoolchildren and students, and those in the business community. A team of friendly and dedicated volunteers ensure the Museum operates at a high standard. We have a wide range of volunteer roles available to suit the skills and interests of different people.
