I loved this little creation left out for the guests to notice when exploring the contents of the design museum before the tour. The bright and contrasting colours as backdrop to a white paint message, only there if you seek it out. Rewarding the quietly inquisitive

A sign made by, then rescued by Noble Signs. The 3 line orange neon is gorgeous, the yellow incandescent bulbs are a fabulous compliment. The indoor setting above a table, a little surreal. Very joyful.

Some of thr larger signs in Noble Signs museum. They have lasted well bevause the porcelian, and the acrylic, ladt through the weather in NYC, and are easily hung on the local architecture. Mac explained that the local vernacukar is to shout what you are selling, tge supplier is much less important.

This Sunday involved a wonderful tour around the workrooms of Noble Signs, which doubles as a museum. The founders started collecting the old signs they were replacing signs, then shifted to reclaiming and storing. They are now building the museum as a charity. They gave a tour today which was wonderful. They specislise in NY vernacular signs. A few photographs for you. I took many, i'll write several posts each with slightly different angles

There are now even more reasons to (re)visit the American Sign Museum following the installation of their expanded 'Main Street' feature in the new wing.
I'll be publishing more about the events of the last couple of weeks in BLAG 06, but for now Signs of the Times has got you covered with a sneak preview of what to expect:
