Curated by Professor Susan Lambert and Dr Louise Dennis.

In January 2022, AUB’s Museum of Design in Plastics (MoDiP) was awarded Designated Outstanding Collection status by Arts Council England. This prestigious award recognises the objects in the museum’s care as forming a ‘collection of national importance’.

This exhibition is a visual representation of the national significance of the subject of the museum – design in plastics, the outstanding quality of the collection and its research value.

No other collection in the world shares MoDiP’s focus on design in plastics. The collection provides a unique and outstanding resource for its study and narration. The museum is a specialist resource at AUB and can be found on the first floor of the library.
