The Candy Wrapper Museum
The founder and curator of the Candy Wrapper Museum began collecting wrappers in 1977 - focusing on finding unusual, ironic, and simply delightful wrappers. While she hasn’t counted her wrappers, she says it’s “HUGE” (as the collection is stored in a stack of boxes nearly 4 feet high).
She admits to eating most of the candy in her collection (and attributes the fact that she’s not overweight to intense exercise).
The curator says that because candy eventually becomes molecularly unstable (turning into what she refers to as a “hideous, sticky goo”), there is little candy on view.
The Candy Wrapper Museum, where wrappers are to be enjoyed as art, nostalgia, and humor.

Alexa Perrin founded the Experimental Food Society in January 2010 to showcase the UK’s most talented culinary creators - a group of groundbreaking gourmet artists that prove there is much more to food than just chewing and swallowing.
The Experimental Food Society plans to host both an annual Spectacular and a series of talks throughout the year.
