Cenk GümüşcüoğluOctober 6, 2014A museum full of product and brand designs since the Victorian era. It's great to observe how the famous FMCG brands evolved in time. Must-see for agency people.(This museum is NOT about advertising.)
Marie S.February 21, 2015Lovely, small museum. Started as a private collection, it is a time capsule of consumer goods from Victorian times to present days. Come in the morning to have it all to yourself- Julie LMay 11, 2015An hidden gem for all packaging and graphic design lovers. Some parts will remind your of your childhood whenever where you're coming from. Not to busy so it´s a calm visit.
- Lauren KeithDecember 27, 2013This museum has a magic about it that's similar to digging through your grandparents' kitchen cupboards. Check the website to get tickets to talks at the museum that include admission.
Kseniya De VivoMarch 5, 2013If interested to see the history from yhe first thing to nowadays products of many famous brands like Guiness, Johnson&Johnson, Cadbury, Nescafe, its the right place to visit.- The GuardianApril 25, 2012"A product placement time tunnel that snakes from decade to decade, with walls stacked like supermarket shelves, with original Dairy Milk wrappers, Marmite jars and 1930s Mars and KitKat bars..."

FranckJanuary 29, 2016Not your typical museum. You will find there all the iconic and evocative posters and packaging created during in past.
TravelThirst / Mariana CallejaNovember 18, 2011Nice small and very complete museum, for all designers and related. Not expensive, a bit hidden but easy to reach after a small walk. Friendly place, shop and little cafe.
Time Out LondonMarch 27, 2012This 120-year history of consumerism, culture, design, domestic life, fashion, folly and fate, presented as a magnificently cluttered time tunnel of cartons and bottles, toys and advertising displays. Read more

Bioran SanAugust 6, 2014Be sure to walk back to the start and speed through the corridors after the first walkthrough! It's like traveling through time
Marsh & ParsonsOctober 25, 2011Hidden away on Colville Mews and well worth a visit. Highlights include a look back over 250 years of Guinness - featuring some of their best advertising campaigns.
julie allenMay 10, 2010real cute little museum hidden away on a quiet back street nr westbourne gr. a must visit for packaging design geeks. super interesting to see how brands have evolved over the years.
Yiota PapJanuary 4, 2018Very beautiful collection. It was really interesting to see how old some brands are..
Ignore tips that say the address is "Colville Mews", that is the old site. As per the map, the Museum is now at 111-117 Lancaster Road, W11 1QT.
Alexia KApril 4, 2015Hidden gem in notting hill you can see how much our lives have changed through the ages
Purple FrogApril 18, 2011Brilliant – it's your very own time machine to revisit the packaging you remember and those you don't. Great inspiration. Read more- Gary BembridgeMay 17, 2012Packed with loads of packaging across decades since Victorian times. You can't take photos - pity
Gr12 HaJune 7, 2015I think they should be more respectful towards 1D, referring to Zayn as "the one who left" & covering half their display window, its boring anyway
Eric KleinMay 5, 2012While it's tilted toward English Brands... it worth going... like a trip through time...
Anit SharmaOctober 27, 2009Go to check out brands, packages and advertising from the victorian age up until now! Its, great. Hard to find, very small and cosy. Worth the trip! Read more
Iolanda RestanoAugust 2, 2013Museo davvero interessante, anche se un po' sacrificato nello spazio. Bello!
Carolina LopesMarch 29, 2014Vale muito a pena, o museu conta a evolução das embalagens e das marcas desde o período Vitoriano até os anos 2000.- Molotov CupcakeNovember 3, 2019Ist, glaube ich, eher für Leute interessant die auch mit diesen Marken aufgewachsen sind und damit auch nostalgische Gefühle entwickeln können.
