| Land of Lost Content - National Museum of British Popular Culture |
On the way back from Dismaland Team Art and Design Staff were lucky enough to stop off at The Land of Lost Content. Located in Craven Arms, Shropshire the museum is a national museum of popular culture and is the life work of Stella and Dave Mitchell.

| Quirky signs all around the museum |
"This Museum for want of a better word, is more like an installation an evolving work of art. Tomorrow, today will be history. We are telling the history of the everyday. Each item has been lovingly chosen by Stella, there are literally millions of them, not essentially for their aesthetic quality, or for their historical significance, but more about the story of ‘Us’ the people who owned, used and may have got great pleasure from them ‘Back in the Day’. Everyone will see something they remember, but each will evoke a personal history. . . ." LOLC Website

The place is amazing with objects and artifacts from bygone times piles from floor to ceiling, hanging from the ceiling and covering every available surface.

| Kitchen Memorabilia |
I loved the kitchen and food memorabilia; I love anything kitchen kitsch. The old toys especially the ride along animals were great too.

The museum is definitely worth a visit as it is full of exciting visual and would be a great starting point for a project.
