Marketing Museum is an accredited charitable non-profit and research-oriented Museum. Launched in 2021 we are focusing on the set up of an archive that will include all kinds of marketing history related objects e.g. from 2000 year old ancient greek vases with inscriptions that reflect early marketing claims to first editions of works in the field of marketing theory that have changed our understanding of the marketing profession. By collecting and analyzing objects with a high relevancy in the field of marketing history we will contribute to current research in this field and furthermore will make the objects available for the public.
As such, Marketing Museum will cover the beginnings of Marketing practice that dates back thousands of years ago through archeological finds as well as textual evidence including early ideas in Marketing thought.
Further findings from archives, museums and other places that are important parts of the history of Marketing will be covered from the past until the present. Furthermore, Marketing Museum will include Marketing trends and visions on how Marketing will develop in the future.
Additional branches of the Museum will be created in the future, focusing on national Marketing history. Likeminded researchers or experts in national marketing history of other countries are welcome to contribute to Marketing Museum by sharing their knowledge e.g. as editors or similar roles.
At this stage Marketing Museum solely has a virtual presence but we are aiming at creating a physical Museum of Marketing in Germany and other countries worldwide and are open for ideas and support.
