A locomotive as packaging
The organisation mentions a tin steam locomotive that is also described as a rusk tin. It is precisely the combination of form and function that shows why packaging can be worth keeping.
Large and small
Alongside consumer tins, a large storage tin from a coffee roaster is mentioned. Compare how size, lettering and lid suit the intended use; the explanations provide the background.
Explaining the collection
Packages with commentary are offered for groups. That can help you connect brands and use. The tea room is an extra with its own conditions.
Before you go
Regular opening Thursday to Saturday afternoons. Group visits are possible all year round by appointment; request a package separately.
