Despite its rather unwieldy title, it's definitely worth popping into this museum, which is
based on the private collection of Robert Opie, a Scot whose compulsive collecting disorder
has left him with ten thousand yoghurt pots alone. From Victorian ceramic pots of anchovy
paste to the alcopops of the 1990s, the displays provide a fascinating social commentary on
the times.
