Collection
The Tilleke & Gibbins Museum of Counterfeit Goods consists of more than 4,000 goods that infringe trademarks, patents, and copyrights. Being one of the largest of its kind in the world, the museum is home to a collection of 14 broad categories of goods, including clothing, footwear, watches and eyewear, accessories, cosmetics and perfumes, food and household products, drugs, alcohol and cigarettes, copyright works, stationery and office supplies, automotive parts, tools, electrical devices, and miscellaneous products. According to CNN, the museum has an eye-opening display that shows just how much is counterfeited, how far crooks will go to manufacture fake products, and the very real dangers that the industry creates.
Apart from the products you might expect to be counterfeited — T-shirts, sunglasses, and watches — there are also a lot of unexpected things being copied, such as automotive accessories, bearings, residual-current devices, pencils, glue, and food products.

Famous quotes containing the word collection:
“No collection of people who are all waiting for the same thing are capable of holding a natural conversation. Even if the thing they are waiting for is only a taxi.”
—Ben Elton (b. 1959)
“What is all wisdom save a collection of platitudes? Take fifty of our current proverbial sayings—they are so trite, so threadbare, that we can hardly bring our lips to utter them. None the less they embody the concentrated experience of the race and the man who orders his life according to their teaching cannot go far wrong.”
—Norman Douglas (1868–1952)
“Our society is not a community, but merely a collection of isolated family units.”
—Valerie Solanas (b. 1940)
