Mementoes of Queen Victoria’s Diamond Jubilee of 1897, George V’s Silver Jubilee of 1935 and Queen Elizabeth II’s Silver Jubilee of 1977 will go on display as well as the newly released keepsakes launched to commemorate this year’s Diamond Jubilee. From 3 April until 31 August.
Royal Wedding Souvenirs - Thirty years ago, Britain groaned under the weight of Charles and Diana souvenirs. Now the flood of William and Kate mementoes is in full flow, from knitted dolls to Fairy Liquid and Twinings teabags special edition packs. The first royal wedding to benefit from the growing souvenir trade was Victoria’s marriage to Prince Albert in 1840, and each wedding since has provided new collectables to help the public mark the occasion. Hundreds of royal mementoes are on display through the Museum's chronological 'time tunnel' of social history.
Packaging a Sustainable Future - Packaging has become one of the hottest environmental issues of recent years, increasingly required to justify its existence. The nation's favourite brands have risen to the challenge. This exhibition explains the importance of packaging, how it has developed over the years and how manufacturers, retailers and designers are working together to adopt a more sustainable approach.
Waste Not, Want Not - During WWII Britain had to economise on raw materials, save on energy and salvage scarce commodities, encouraged by a powerful propaganda machine. Whether the message was to grow your own vegetables, make do and mend, or recycle paper, uppermost in everyone's mind was the need to be sparing in the use of meagre resources. While few may now remember those years of rationing and blackouts, the lessons from the past can teach us how to make better use of limited resources today.
