Tinned Fish Museum

The Tinned Fish Museum, a conceptual and design passion project born from a deep belief that this unique cultural phenomenon deserves a space of its own. Not just highlighting the food and the container it is in but diving deeper into its history and looking forward into the present and future art it inspires.

The exhibits explore the heritage of tinned fish, tracing its journey from a practical preservation method to a beloved culinary staple across the world. Visitors can discover the histories behind sardines from Portugal, tuna from Japan, anchovies from Spain, and beyond, while also diving into the evolution of the label art—showcasing vintage designs, bold typography, and intricate illustrations that have made tinned fish packaging the treasure it is.

Beyond history, the museum features collections of art inspired by tinned fish—sculptures crafted from repurposed tins, paintings that capture the nostalgia and charm of the industry, and multimedia works that explore its cultural impact. This is more than just a museum; it’s a space where food, industry, and creativity intersect in meaningful and surprising ways.

I truly believe The Tinned Fish Museum would thrive as a place of discovery, appreciation, and conversation. Below is my vision of this Museums branding brought to life; that celebrates the past, present, and future of tinned fish in all its flavorful and artistic glory.
