Britain's What's On Event Guide
Aide-mémoire: Shopping Lists
On 8 October 2022, the Museum of Brands in Notting Hill, West London, will open a new temporary display, Aide-mémoire: Shopping Lists.
The new display is an intimate look at our consumer habits in the 21st century. Each list gives a personal insight to trends, tastes, the continuing popularity of old favourites, the mundane and the downright bizarre! From the spelling and handwriting to the paper they are written on and the order they are written in, the lists expose people's tastes, their habits, their celebrations and the things they find important. They show a snapshot of everyday domesticity in 21st century England and share an insight into a person’s life through the items we buy and the little notes we leave to ourselves.
Alongside the exhibition the museum will include brand new interactive activities for pre-school children where they can make their own shopping list and find the items to fill their basket!
