Description

The brainchild of consumer historian and enthusiast Robert Opie, this ambitious shrine to nostalgia takes visitors on a winding time tunnel from Victorian times up to the present day. Along the way, visitors will find Monopoly sets, the first appearances of Mickey Mouse and Disney, a primitive version of Cluedo, Teazie-Weazie powder shampoo, radios and TVs, and ephemera celebrating pop-culture sensations such as the Beatles, Mork and Mindy, Star Wars, Star Trek, Buzz Lightyear, Pokemon, the Simpsons and more - all of which have been collected by Opie since he was a teenager.
