Not a guest experience of my choosing

YOU HAVE TO SEE THE LUNCHBOX MUSEUM!!! This place has a little bit of everything you could ever want. Coming from texas, i've never been to a place like this before. It's truly one of a kind and i can't recommend it enough

Way over priced! I tried to buy some cast-iron that was in bad shape for a reasonable price and they were asking triple the cleaned up price.

The cutest little spot- could have spent hours looking at everything this museum has. The lunchbox museum was fascinating and like going back in time and the care and love that has gone into the collection can be felt while your walking through. Highly recommend-super fun for a date idea in colombus

Not a professional museum per se, but an incredible collection of items and their presentation is still fantastic. There are really 4 or 5 parts or separate museums , depending on how you think of it. The antique shop itself houses the connected museums.

Admission was a nominal ($10) amount per person and starts with the Lunch Box museum. It's essentially multiple walls of thousands of school lunch boxes, Thermos bottles, and serving trays from the 1930s to the 80s. Next is the Nehi/RC (Royal Crown) Cola museum along with Tom's crackers. This area felt like you were stepping back in time. I would have liked a little more textual information but otherwise it was perfect. Last is the Georgia Radio Museum, which includes both physical radios through the years and what amounts to plaques representing a hall of fame for radio personalities from Georgia.

Finally, the owner has a small classic car collection, with some beautiful examples of his personal favorites. There are Fords, Chrysler and Plymouth examples and even a world record setting Tesla and an Airstream trailer for good measure!


The owner's granddaughter was there and more than knowledgeable about the collections and I enjoyed talking with her. Definitely worth a visit!

I never thought I would see seven museums in one place of this amazing magnitude! Columbus is very fortunate to have these for all of our visitors!

Such a neat collection and friendly staff! 2,000 lunch boxes really is something! It's located in the back of the antique mall & it's a small fee but definitely worth it!

Quaint and fun. Found this little gem while waiting between a morning and evening event. The staff was polite and hospitable. There were some I retesting items in the antique part. There is a fee for the museum section. What a walk down memory lane! I found my childhood lunchbox! The collection is amazing and the shows and characters on the lunchboxes brought back a lot of memories. The radio museum is also interesting and represented a bygone era. Definitely worth a stop.

Pros: Revive childhood memories with a visit to the Lunchbox Museum. Friendly staff will educate you on the collection of metal lunchboxes.

Cons: N/A
