Loading ...I was wandering around the neighbourhood earlier this evening when I came across this building that I’d never noticed before.
On closer investigation, I noticed a sign on the door of this peculiar building. Intricately etched into an aging brass plaque was this message…
The T-Shirt Museum was started to track the art and design of T-shirts through the years….This museum will be the shrine for that art and those messages.
The T-shirt went from an article of underwear to trendy outerwear after Clark Gable wore his T-shirt in the movie “It Happened One Night.” This was taken further by Marlon Brando in “Street Car Named Desire.”
No one knows who first printed on a T-Shirt, but it was popularized in the 60’s, when so many other things happened. The simple T-Shirt took on a life of its own, becoming a canvas for artists and a billboard for messages of the time. Everything from “Peace” to Alka Seltzer was hawked on T’s.
There seems to be no slowing down the messages and art that can be applied to this cotton apparel. We stop on the edge of this mew millennium and look back at some of the classics. Peace, Woodstock, Smiley Faces, “All they got me was this lousy T-Shirt,” Tommy Chong’s 714, Hard Rock Cafe, and others. We offer to those shirts and to you, a place to store the memories and look towards the future, The T-Shirt Museum.
Yep, it’s certainly the first museum of t-shirts I’ve ever come across.
If you’re bored, plan a trip to the T-Shirt Museum. In fact, take the whole family and make a day of it!
You’ll find a whole host of old and tacky t-shirts, but it’s a wild walk through clotheslines of the past.
Don’t say I didn’t warn you, there’s a few dodgy ones inside. Regardless, enjoy your tour of T-Shirt Museum!
