The Museum's gathering begins in the 1970s and backpedals into the 1800s, highlighting indications of each sort, produced using relatively every material possible.

Among the striking signs are the Sputnik-like "Satellite" sign, hand-worked to promote a strip shopping center, a solitary curve McDonald's sign with the pre-Ronald "Speedee" character, and more than 200 different signs.

The absolute most wonderful signs are those from the pre-neon period, including signs publicizing haberdashers, shoemakers, pharmacists, and other turn-of-the-century organizations. The Sign Museum is making arrangements to move into a considerably bigger building with the goal that it can show a portion of the bigger signs from its gathering. The new space, with more than 500 signs showed in a made-up town called "Signville," is set to open in 2010.
