Exhibitions currently running:

Political Mugs - This exhibition highlights political intrigue of the past 200 years, as seen through souvenir mugs, jugs, contemporary toys and tins. Politicians are often as ephemeral as the exhibits that depict them. Amongst the pottery is a gladiatorial play thing between Gladstone and Salisbury from 1885, the game of ‘Poll, or forming a cabinet’ from the election of 1906 and Churchill cigar-smoking manikins from the 1950s. Since the Seventies, political pottery caricatures have become increasingly popular, encouraged by the mimicry of the Spitting Image TV series. The Thatcher era saw Maggie squeakers, note pads, Acrobrats, toilet rolls, and even slippers. Until 28th November.

The Museum of Brands, Packaging and Advertising is open:
Tuesday to Saturday: 10am to 6pm,
Sunday 11am to 5pm,
closed Mondays except Bank Holidays.
