Guided Story
Imagine standing in a place where even a simple chocolate wrapper has a story to tell. Right here in this courtyard, where you are now, was once a sanctuary—a 19th-century emergency church. Look up and notice the old walls that now house an extraordinary collection. Did you know that packaging used to be considered a luxury item? In the 19th century, they were intricately designed to make products more desirable. Behind you, in the display cases, are historical packages once affordable only to the wealthy. Let yourself be surprised by the stories these everyday objects have to share.
