MACS Goes To...The Museum of Brands
Join MACS at the Museum of Brands on 15 August! "A brand is a promise kept.” — Howard Schultz Located on 111-117 Lancaster Road, 2 minutes from Portobello Road, the Museum of Brands showcases 150 years of brands, packaging and advertising through the permanent exhibition the ‘Time Tunnel’ created by consumer historian Robert Opie. In addition to the Time Tunnel, we'll also have time to explore the Museum's temporary exhibitions, including Branding Britain: exploring how Britain’s enduring identity has been moulded, expressed and exported around the world. Visitors will encounter dynamic displays and striking visualisations that reveal how the nation is perceived both at home and abroad, alongside objects and stories from iconic brands including Yorkshire Tea, Lloyds Bank, Marmite, Burberry, Cadbury, Greggs and Dr. Martens, McVitie's and Tilda.
