A focus on packaging
Tins for coffee, tea, cocoa and cigars are mentioned among the items on offer. Look at the lettering, imagery and colour: packaging had to both keep something and catch the eye.
A whole shop interior
The displays described include a chemist’s, a hairdresser’s and a cigar shop. This places an advertising sign in a setting instead of on its own on a museum wall.
The collector explains
The organisation offers a guided tour with a limited number of participants. When booking, say what interests you, for example enamel signs, neon or a particular type of shop.
Before you go
By appointment only, with a maximum of eight visitors. The published time slots are options for a booking, not open visiting times.
