Art For Lunch

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.
