Time Out says

This 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, is a small part of the collection amassed by Robert Opie - son of the celebrated collectors of children's lore and literature Ioana and Peter Opie - since the day in 1963 when the 16-year-old arrived home with a Munchies wrapper and declared his intention never to throw away anything ever again.

I love this museum, and I should appear to anyone who lived in the western world during the last 100 year. I am myself a collector of tins from Huntley and Palmers, I have many hundreds. But how one man can bring together a collection of advertising as big is this, I cant understand, I admire him. If its raining in London, if its sunny in London - visit this museum, you are going to stay for hours,. Bengt Klingvall, Stockholm
