Yesterday, Mr Cee and I went to West London to visit
The Museum of Brands, as they had an exhibition celebrating
Thunderbirds and Space: 1999 - a celebration of Sci-fi Toys and Collectables.
We've visited the museum a couple of times in the past, and it's always worth going to see their 'time tunnel', which contains thousands of examples of social and manufacturing history from the Victorian age right up to the present day. Items include food packaging, toys and games, household appliances, posters and advertising items and more! Collected over 50 years by Robert Opie, the museum now runs as a charity and is one of the most fascinating places to visit in London.
Under the cut for far too many photos. Some have unavoidable reflections, but I couldn't resist still trying to take them, so it's worth clicking to enlarge.
We started with the Thunderbirds and Space: 1999 exhibition, which also featured Fireball XL5, Stingray, Captain Scarlet and UFO. There was a LOT to look at and we were there for over two and half hours...

Lots more under the cut with minimal explanations as most items are obvious. Enlarge with a click for detail.
