Successful edition of MuseumNight 2015

9 November 2015

The second time the Amsterdam Pipe Museum participated in the Amsterdam Museum Night was again a positive event. Despite of the rainfall in the early hours of the evening, we received almost 400 visitors till closing time at 2AM. Apart from the drinks and bites, our program consisted of a repeated lecture on the pipe smoker and his choice for a particular shape or type of pipe. The examples of well-known pipe smokers made it easily recognizable for the public.

Interesting poster design museum night

2 November 2015

Each year a special publicity campaign is designed for the Amsterdam museum night. This year one of our sexy pipes has the lead in this campaign: a design from the 1930's in which the stem is shaped as a lady's leg, with the tobacco chamber in the thigh. This pipes is used in both a full-size poster and a video, in which confetti comes out of the pipes instead of smoke. A really original publicity for our museum.
